1. (C) USNATO Charge Olson advised Serbian Special Envoy to
NATO, Ambassador Branco Milinkovic, on December 12 that it is
essential that Serbia,s Partnership for Peace Presentation
Document include ICTY compliance language. This, he
suggested, could follow the lines of President Tadic,s
letter to President Bush. Milinkovic acknowledged that the
current draft of the document does not include such a
reference because it was drafted months ago on the assumption
that Serbia would be ICTY compliant by the time the document
was presented to NATO. He took on board the need to have the
language in current circumstances, and in fact said he had so
recommended to Belgrade the day before.


2. (C) Milinkovic confirmed that Serbia will not introduce
its Presentation Document at the December 14 Partnership
Framework Document signing ceremony. Belgrade is considering
delivering the Presentation Document only after the
installation of a new Serbian Government.
