1. (U) Bulgaria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the
following public statement supporting UNSCR 1701 on August 16:
Begin text of unofficial translation:
Bulgaria supports unanimously-adopted UN Security Council
Resolution 1701 which calls for a full cessation of
hostilities, deployment of the Lebanese security forces
together with UNIFIL in Southern Lebanon and, in parallel,
withdrawal of the Israeli army from the southern part of the
country. Of particular importance now is for the parties to
the conflict to make efforts to comply with the full range of
measures provided for in the resolution. The strict
implementation of the principles and elements set forth in
the document, on the basis of which a settlement of the
conflict can be achieved, is a key prerequisite for the
achievement of stability, security, and durable peace in the
region. Responding to the appeal contained in Resolution
1701 and in coordination with its partners in the European
Union and NATO, Bulgaria is contemplating possibilities of
extending assistance to overcome the severe humanitarian
crisis. End translation.
2. (SBU) We continue to follow up at all levels of the GOB
regarding specifics of their assistance, including possible
force contribution to UNIFIL.
