SUBJECT: COUNTRY CLEARANCE FOR RICHARD BARTHOLOMEW

REF: RUEATRS 7299


1. Embassy Ljubljana welcomes the visit of and grants
Country Clearance to Senior Budget Advisor, Mr. Richard
Bartholomew, to travel to Ljubljana, Slovenia, from
September 21 - 24, 2005, to visit the Center for
Excellence in Finance.


2. There is no requirement to check in with the
Embassy upon arrival. However, should assistance be
required, the point of contact for your visit is John
Nylin, Economics Officer, Office phone: 386-1-200-5537,
fax: 386-1-200-5555, Cell phone: 386-70-323-653.


3. The overall security threat level for U.S.
personnel and interests in Ljubljana, Slovenia is
considered to be low. Slovenia has a low crime rate
and violent crime is extremely rare. Nonetheless,
visitors should take normal security precautions and
are requested to report any suspected surveillance of
themselves or U.S. facilities to the Mission Security
Office. Visitors should avoid carrying large amounts
of cash and jewelry on their person and are urged to
use safe deposit boxes available in hotel. While very
uncommon, there have been some incidents of purse
snatching or pickpockets, usually at night outside of
bars. The threat from intelligence services remains
viable, and official visitors should take appropriate
measures to protect classified or sensitive
conversations and documents. Conversations on non-
secure lines and cell phones should be considered
subject to compromise.
