1. (C) Embassy delivered demarche (paras 5-6 Ref A) to MFA
UN/OAS Division Chief Michelle Cohen on April 13, having
received telephonic instructions (Ref B) that Santo Domingo
had been inadvertently omitted from Ref A addressees. Deputy
Foreign Minister Alejandra Liriano informed us the same day
that the Dominican Republic would vote with the United States
on the CHR-61 resolution on Belarus and on any related
no-action motion. Embassy had delivered a separate demarche
on the no-action motion on Belarus April 12 (reported Ref C).


2. (C) Embassy coordinated with Embassy of The Netherlands
DCM Joep van de Laar, who represents the Luxembourg EU
Presidency here. His embassy had instructions for the joint
demarche (as we reported Ref D),but no one appropriate was
available to deliver the demarche on short notice. He
undertook to do so on behalf of the EU as soon as possible,
but recommended we go ahead today and inform the MFA that the
EU and United States have the same position. We did so.
