¶1. (C) In an August 28 meeting with Director General of the
Slovenian Foreign Ministry's Directorate for European Affairs
and Bilateral Political Relations Bogdan Benko, Charge
d'Affaires requested that Slovenia issue a public statment
similar to the Department's August 15 statement calling on
the Syrian government to allow Riad Seif to travel outside
Syria to receive urgent medical treatment. Post provided the
MFA with a copy of the Department's August 15 statement.
Benko acknowledged our request.
