Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Thayer for Reason 1.4(b) 1. (C) DCM discussed reftel with Ivan Korcok, State Secretary of the MFA, Milan Jezovica, Foreign Policy Advisor SIPDIS to PM Dzurinda, and Frantisek Ruzicka, Acting General Director for European Affairs. Ruzicka was very well versed in U.S. views (to the point of summarizing previous demarche's talking points), but emphasized that Slovakia would be looking for allies on this issue inside the EU, specifically mentioning the UK and the Netherlands. However, both Korcok and Jezovica were more resolute, stating that the GOS will not support the lifting of the China arms embargo. 2. (C) Comment: At the working level, the GOS is looking for cover under the leadership of other EU countries while at the political level, a decision to support maintaining the arms embargo has been made.
