(C) Lubomir Cano, Director of the Security Policy Department
at the MFA, and Vladimir Jakabcin, Director of the Defense
Policy and International Relations Department at the MOD,
told emboffs the GOS will not oppose merging ISAF and
Operation Enduring Freedom. However, Cano said the GOS does
not have enough information about the military and legal
consequences of such a merger to support the merger
currently. He expects the debate to be contentious within
the Alliance, especially over the role of a combat mandate
for NATO troops.
