US embassy cable - 05BRATISLAVA637

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.

REF: STATE 142348 
 
1. (SBU) Embassy has shared reftel talking points with Prime 
Minister Dzurinda's foreign policy advisor, and will also 
share them with experts in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 
the week of August 8 (most of the lead people have been on 
vacation during recent weeks). 
 
2. (SBU) The issues surrounding Guantanamo detainees have not 
received wide public attention in Slovakia.  An aggressive 
campaign to explain U.S. policy risks opening the issue for 
public debate and sparking controversy where presently none 
exists.  We look forward to receiving additional fact sheets 
and publicly releasable materials that Washington will be 
providing on this issue, and will distribute them to key 
media and academic contacts.
