1. (C) On April 2, POLOFF delivered reftel demarche to Pavel
Klucky, Head of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Unit in
the UN Department at the Czech MFA. Klucky stated that the
Czech government would need some time to formulate a
response. On April 6, POLOFF again contacted Klucky, who
reported that the Czech government is working on following
the U.S. lead in designating Iran's Defense Industries
Organization (DIO) as a proliferator and in prohibiting
business contact with DIO. Klucky stated that the Ministry
of Finance has the lead on such matters and stated that he
had been working specifically with the Ministry of Finance's
Financial Analytic Unit (FAU) which also is in charge of
investigation of money laundering cases in the Czech
Republic. The FAU is currently working on writing specific
implementing regulations to ensure that Czech law also
prohibits any business interaction with DIO, Klucky stated.
