1. (S) On July 3, PolCouns delivered reftel demarche to MFA
Secretary General Rocanas. Rocanas noted that the GOG shared
SIPDIS
U.S. concerns regarding foreign fighters joining the Iraq
insurgency; he planned to consult with MFA experts and within
the EU before responding in more detail. On the mechanics of
a joint demarche with the U.S., Rocanas suggested it would be
most effective as a U.S.- EU Troika demarche (on behalf of
all EU member states). EU candidate countries could also be
asked to associate themselves with the demarche. Rocanas
believed that involvement by the EU Troika would ensure that
a joint demarche received maximum high level attention in the
region.
