1. (C) MFA has assured us that Slovakia will vote for
Slovenia -- and will not vote for Belarus, -- for the UNHRC.
Slovakia has previously indicated a willingness to vote for
Bosnia. (Ref A) I believe Slovakia would still be willing to
support Bosnia for the UNHRC, but Bosnia should be encouraged
to announce its candidacy and request support from Slovakia's
Mission in New York directly.
2. (SBU) Slovakia's mission in New York has told MFA Belarus
will likely win a seat on the UNHCR. (Ref B)
