US embassy cable - 05PRAGUE1422

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)  Pol-Econ Chief and Poloff met with Petr Kaiser, Director 
of the Czech MFA's CFSP Department, on September 30 to 
discuss the Czech position on the Tamil Tigers (LTTE). 
Kaiser said the Czechs support the EU designating LTTE as a 
terrorist organization without reservation, but noted the EU 
has not reached consensus on the issue.  He explained that 
certain countries in northern Europe argue against listing 
LTTE as a terrorist organization because they fear the 
designation would jeopardize the peace process, as well as 
the missions of NGOs providing relief to Tsunami victims in 
areas under LTTE control.  In addition, opponents are 
concerned about the legal implications of the terrorist 
designation.
