TRILATERAL MEETING
REF: STATE 79658
Classified By: Pol-Mil Counselor Timothy A. Betts for reasons 1.4 (b) a
nd (d).
1. (C/REL USA, GBR, AUS, CAN) Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria
held a "productive and fruitful" trilateral meeting on Black
Sea maritime security issues June 19, according to MFA DDG
for Multilateral Security Affairs Serdar Kilic. Romania
presented a paper on NATO and broader international community
involvement in the region. Participants agreed to share it
with other littoral states to generate a broad discussion of
the topic sometime after the Riga NATO summit in November.
2. (C/REL USA, GBR, AUS, CAN) On Turkey's maritime
interdiction operation, Black Sea Harmony (OBSH),Turkey
invited Romanian experts to Turkey to discuss their nation's
participation. Even Bulgaria is showing progress, he said.
He understood that the Bulgarian Defense Ministry had
recommended to the GOB MFA that Sofia agree to participate in
OBSH. Kilic credited USG efforts for the more positive
approach by both Romania and Bulgaria towards OBSH. The
three delegations agreed to hold another round of trilateral
talks in Turkey in late July.
3. (C/REL USA, GBR, AUS, CAN) Romania proposed a meeting of
the BLACKSEAFOR special representatives for September 4, but
subsequently agreed that an experts meeting in early
September and a special representatives gathering later that
month made more sense, Kilic reported.
