1. (C) DCM presented reftel demarche points March 26 to
Ambassador Roman Kirn, Director of the Division for the
Americas at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Kirn listened
carefully to our request for Slovenia to accept detainees
ready for release, and remarked that this is an important
development, though one which is sensitive and requires
careful handling. He promised to convey the U.S. request to
the Foreign Minister, but commented that due to Slovenia's
small size and the structure of its compact and close-knit
towns and villages, it would be very complicated to place
refugees in those communities. He remarked that placement of
Guantanamo detainees would be so visible, it could provoke
unintended reactions from the public. Post's view is that it
is highly unlikely Slovenia will accept any detainees.
