Haas, reasons 1.4 (b) an d (d). ¶1. (C) Econoff delivered reftel points 1 July to Bostjan Jerman of the MFA's Division for Security Policy. Jerman noted that he was unaware of the reftel Executive Order announcement, but said he would "immediately" pass the entity names to the Ministry of the Economy and Slovene intelligence. Jerman commented that while the entity names from North Korea and Syria were "not likely active" in Slovenia, he said that the Iranian names were "interesting." Noting that Slovenian companies do some business with Iran, Jerman said he would ensure the information is passed along and would follow up with Econoff no later than 7 July. Jerman noted that while it might be "difficult to track" whether Slovene companies were doing business with companies associated with those on the reftel list, he committed to ensuring that "all databases" were checked.
