US embassy cable - 05PRAGUE1621

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 207080 
 
1.  Post delivered reftel demarche to the Czech Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs Department of Multilateral Economic 
Relations.  The MFA responded that it would support USG re- 
election to the IMO Council in Category "A."  However, the 
MFA said that support would be conditional upon the USG's 
support of Czech candidacy for the International 
Telecommunications Union (ITU) Council. 
 
2.  ACTION REQUEST AND COMMENT:  In our view, the Czechs 
believe the USG will have no problems getting re-elected to 
the IMO Council, and are trying this tactic to gauge USG 
support for the Czech ITU candidacy.  Post requests 
department guidance on how to answer the MFA on the request 
for USG support for the Czech ITU candidacy.
