1.  (U) Pol-Miloff delivered reftel talking points and 
background information on 17 February to MFA Head of 
Department for North America and Latin America Vojislav Suc 
and U.S. Desk Officer Amela Kentric.  Kentric replied on 8 
March with the following information:  Slovenia did not 
provide any bilateral aid to the Andean region during 
2000-2004.  Multilaterally, Slovenia did not make any 
contributions specifically focused on the Andean region. 
Slovenia is a member of the Inter-American Development Bank. 
Slovenia contributes funds to the region through EU 
mechanisms, with specific programs and projects financed 
through ECHO and ALA (Asia & Latin America).  Kentric said 
further data is available at the European Commission homepage 
(AIDCO).  She said Slovenia does not offer specific input at 
ALA meetings, but rather that Slovenia "supports main 
priorities."  For any follow-up questions, she offered 
contact information for a colleague at the MFA Division for 
International Development Cooperation and Humanitarian 
Assistance, Tone Kajzer (email: tone.kajzer@gov.si; phone: 
386-1-478-2185).
