(C) In response to reftel demarche, Czech MFA Director for UN
Affairs Jan Kara told Pol-Econ Couns on June 2 that the CR is
likely to stick with the EU consensus on the questions of
marking of ammunition and legal nature of the agreement.
Kara said that USG views on these two points are well
understood among EU negotiators, and therefore he expected
there would be some compromise on the EU position, since EU
countries want to reach agreement. He thought EU members
were firmer on the status of the agreement, less so on the
marking of ammunition, but otherwise could offer no comments
on end game for these negotiations.
