1. (C) Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Ambassador
Vladimir Lomen at the UNSC Coordination Unit at MFA. Lomen
promised to share US concerns within the MFA and with
Slovakia's mission to the UN. Lomen opined that encouraging
UNSC members to avoid statements on the merits of the EEBC's
demarcation decision and to avoid putting any pressure on
Ethiopia or Eritrea to take specific steps to implement that
decision is a departure from past US policy on this issue.
2. (C) Lomen said Slovak policy on this issue would likely be
made in New York, and encouraged Poloff to have USUN offer a
more clear explanation of the reasons for this request to
Slovakia's mission to the UN.
