US embassy cable - 04LJUBLJANA1121

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.

reasons 1.4(b) and (d). 
 
1.  (S) Pol-Miloff delivered reftel talking points and list 
to MFA International Security Department staffers Bostjan 
Jerman and Maja Zuzek on 17 December.  Jerman and Zuzek 
received the information gratefully and said they would pass 
it on directly to representatives at the Bank of Slovenia, 
Office for the Prevention of Money-Laundering, and other key 
persons within the GoS who may be investigating specific 
cases.  Our experience in the past has shown that MFA can 
disseminate this information among the relevant parties more 
quickly and efficiently than the Embassy.  Our contacts in 
the past have been very conscientious of the need to do this, 
and we are confident that Jerman and Zuzek will follow suit. 
Jerman said he did not know if Slovenia had restrictions in 
place with respect to any of the entities or individuals 
named in the demarche.  He said he would keep the Embassy 
apprised of any relevant decisions or developments, though.
