COUNTERTERRORISM CONFERENCE

REF: STATE 62142


1. (SBU) On May 16 we delivered reftel demarche to Vladimir
Andreyev, Deputy Director for the MFA's Department of New
Challenges and Threats, regarding the proposal to conduct
joint demarches to OSCE member states to solicit high-level
participation in the May 31-June 1 Conference for
Public-Private Partnership in Combating Counterterrorism.
Andreyev told us that the GOR had on May 8 given instructions
to their missions to deliver a similar demarche, and that
most Russian missions had already completed the task. He
added that there was no need at this point to coordinate a
simultaneous delivery. He said the GOR agreed with the U.S.
text, and that given the limited time before the conference,
the U.S. should begin delivering the demarche.


2. (SBU) Andreyev told us that the GOR's Rome Embassy had
reported that the Italians were planning to send a low-level
delegation to the conference, perhaps a member of their OSCE
delegation in Vienna. He noted the important role that Italy
could play in fostering a public-private partnership in
combating counterterrorism, and suggested both the U.S. and
the GOR re-engage the Italians on the composition of their
delegation.
