APRIL 11-12
REF: SECSTATE 56724
We delivered reftel demarche to Hana Sevcikova, Head of
Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Assistance at the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She told us that there is no
likelihood of a Czech financial pledge at the Oslo conference
on Darfur April 12. She said the Czech Republic has already
given 10 million crowns ($435,000) for the peace process,
which is the largest sum of any of the new EU member states.
She added that the Czech Republic has already spent a lot of
money on tsunami relief this year. She did agree that the
Czech ambassador will support the political goals of the
conference and appreciated having the talking points from
reftel. A new financial contribution would require a higher
political decision, for which she did not hold out much hope.
