1. (U) POLOFF delivered demarche to MFA Deputy Director for
the UN and Specialized Institutions Directorate, Eugen Mihut,
on February 25. Mihut told POLOFF that based on the U.S.
support of Bosnia for a soon-to-be-vacant UN Human Rights
Council (HCR) seat his office would also support Bosnia for
the seat. Mihut speculated that the leadership in the MFA
would support his office's recommendation but gave no
guarantees. Mihut said that he would have Romanian UN
Mission check to see if Bosnia had officially put in its
candidacy. He suggested that Bosnia become active in gaining
support from other countries.


2. (U) On a separate note, Mihut said that the MFA Director
for OSCE, Council of Europe and Human Rights, Brandusa
Predescu had met her counterparts at the State Department and
discussed the possibility of the U.S running for a seat on
the HCR. Mihut inquired if any decisions had been taken
regarding this; Romania strongly encouraged the U.S. to run
for a seat.
