US embassy cable - 05BRATISLAVA49

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.

(C) Lubomir Cano, Director of the Security Policy Department 
at the MFA, and Vladimir Jakabcin, Director of the Defense 
Policy and International Relations Department at the MOD, 
told emboffs the GOS will not oppose merging ISAF and 
Operation Enduring Freedom.  However, Cano said the GOS does 
not have enough information about the military and legal 
consequences of such a merger to support the merger 
currently.  He expects the debate to be contentious within 
the Alliance, especially over the role of a combat mandate 
for NATO troops.
