SUBJECT: (S) SLOVENIA: NO REPORTED ARMS SALES TO YEMEN

REF: SECSTATE 60618

Classified By: Deputy Chief of Mission Dean J. Haas for reasons 1.4(b)
and (d).


1. (S) Pol-Miloff delivered reftel talking points on 08
April to MFA Security Policy Department staffer Bostjan
Jerman, who handles non-proliferation issues and export
controls. Having taken over his current portfolio just last
year, Jerman was confident that no arms shipments from
Slovenia have been made to Yemen since 2003. He said he
would look into whether any such shipments had been made
prior to 2003, but he was reasonably confident that there
were none. Jerman said he would ensure the talking points
reached colleagues in the licensing department at the Defense
Ministry, as well. Jerman sits on inter-agency committees
dealing with export controls and dual-use licensing.
