¶1. (C) On June 2, PolMiloff delivered reftel demarche to MFA
NATO Department Head Zorica Bukinac Cimpersek, and on June 5
to MOD NATO/EU Department Head Aljosa Selan. Although
Slovenia's resources are currently being stretched by a new
set of NATO Force Goals (issued in March 2006),Cimpersek and
Selan promised to consider further contributions to the NRF.
Selan noted that reaching FOC for the NRF was critical to the
Alliance's credibility and said that the General Staff would
look into ways Slovenia might be able to further contribute.
The GOS understands that Slovenia will be pressed to do more
in Brussels.
