US embassy cable - 05PRAGUE1026

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.

Internet Distribution. 
 
2. (SBU) On July 8, we delivered the diplomatic note in 
reftel regarding the U.S. intention to seek World Heritage 
Committee membership with Mr. Jan Kara, Director of the UN 
Department at the MFA.  Kara informed PolCouns that although 
this year there is a long list of candidates, he has "no 
doubts" that the US will be among the twelve Committee 
members elected.  Kara also indicated that while the GOCR has 
not finalized its list of candidates that it will suppport, 
the U.S. will undoubtedly be on that list.  In addition, Kara 
discussed generally the GOCR's support for bilateral cultural 
restoration projects in Iraq, some of which are under 
discussion within UNESCO and asked for USG support.  We 
agreed that once the Czechs have identified their priorities 
and know which projects UNESCO will support, we would be 
happy to discuss it further.
