1. (C) On July 29 reftel points (ref a) on attendance at the
July 31 UN Force Generation Meeting were delivered to Sander
Soone, MFA Director General for Political Affairs. Soone
agreed with the importance of the meeting, but could not
saywho the Estonian representative would be. With respect to
an Estonian contribution for the possible intervention force,
Soone candidly expressed his doubts that Estonia could
contribute any soldiers due to its current troop commitments
in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo.
2. (U) Only July 31, Poloff informed Arti Hilpus, Acting
Director General for Political Affairs, of the meeting's
postponement (ref b). Hilpus noted that Foreign Minister
Urmas Paet is currently in Brussels for an Extraordinary
General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC)
meeting. Therefore, the seniority of Estonia's
representation at the UN meeting will depend upon the outcome
of the GAERC meeting.
