US embassy cable - 05BRATISLAVA262

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.

(SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche March 30 to Peter 
Hulenyi, Director of the Department for Development 
Cooperation at the MFA.  Hulenyi said State Secretary Jozsef 
Berenyi had previously planned to attend the conference but 
had decided to send Hulenyi instead after consultation with 
the Slovak Ambassador in Oslo.  The Slovak Government will 
not announce any additional pledge for Sudan at the 
conference.  Hulenyi noted that the Slovak Government 
provided Sudan 240,000 USD in 2004,  including 20,000 Euros 
in cash assistance for food aid.  Hulenyi said that one third 
of Slovakia's approximately five million USD bilateral 
development and humanitarian assistance goes to Serbia and 
Montenegro. The Slovak Government finds it difficult to 
justify spending scarce development resources in a region 
where it has no historical or cultural ties, although Sudan 
remains one of Slovakia's thirteen priority donor recipients.
