1. (C) PolEconOff delivered reftel points July 10 to Evita
Cikute of the International Organizations and Human Rights
Division at the MFA. Cikute stated that the GOL will take
USG views into account when considering whom to support for
the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Director
General (DG) position. She noted that, as the vote is not
scheduled until June of 2008, the GOL does not yet have a
firm position. However, she added that, since Latvia has
ratified the IOM constitutional amendment limiting the DG's
time in office to two terms, "it is logical that we might not
support Mr. McKinley's bid for re-election to a third term."
We will also pass reftel points to contacts at the Ministry
of Interior, which has some interests in migration issues.
