1. (C) A/DCM March 10 delivered reftel points on reacting to
the Belarus election to Deputy Foreign Minister Thomas Pojar.
Pojar welcomed the U.S. desire to ensure unified action.


2. (C) Czech officials have been positive on the idea of
coordinating the international response to the election.
Political Director Martin Povejsil March 9 suggested a joint
U.S.-EU statement for release immediately following the
election, but did not predict which countries or
international organizations might participate. The GOCR will
examine the U.S. suggestions and would welcome U.S. feedback
on their idea of a unified statement.


3. (C) MFA Director of Eastern Europe Tomas Szunyog, during a
meeting March 8, also expressed great interest in USG
thinking on reaction to the election. He told us that the
Czechs would be sending 40 observers to the ODIHR-organized
mission, including 20 GOCR staff, five officials from NGOs
participating in the USG-funded V-4 group, and approximately
15 additional observers organized by NGOs; in addition, 2-3
members of parliament were planning to participate, but
outside of ODIHR. Similar numbers are planned for the
election in Ukraine.
