1. (U) EconOff spoke with MFA Multilateral Office official
Ondrej Kovarik to discuss Reftel. Kovarik said the Czechs
will adhere to the EU common position, but added the Czechs
do not support the establishment of a permanent forum because
the funding source and management structure is unknown.
Instead the Czechs prefer an informal forum that is both
voluntary and consultative. They also want greater
coordination among existing agencies prior to the
establishment of any permanent forum.
2. (U) The Czech delegation to the Global Migration Forum
will include:
- Helena Bambasova, Head of Delegation, Director General of
Bilateral Relations, MFA
- Pavla Fridrichova, Chief of the Asylum Policy Unit,
Ministry of the Interior
