1.  On 6 October, Embassy Ljubljana used funds from a 
Business Facilitation Incentive Fund grant to host a 
seminar on agricultural coexistence in Slovenia.  As 
reported reftel, the event was the first ever of its kind 
hosted by Post and helped pave the way for open, science- 
based debate on biotechnology and coexistence.   The 
following is an accounting of funds spent to host the 
conference.  The amounts are given in USD. 
 
Conference Room and equipment rental    2,567.51 
Overtime for drivers and FSN              341.53 
Total:                                  2,909.04 
 
2.  In addition to BFIF funds, Post is grateful for 
support from FAS, which paid for simultaneous 
interpretation and the cost of printing invitations and 
other promotional material.  U.S. speaker stipends and 
travel costs were covered by a grant from IIP.
