(C) On August 9, we delivered reftel points to Raul Toomas,
MFA Kosovo Desk Officer, and inquired about the Government
of Estonia's (GOE) views on next steps for Kosovo in the
absence of any breakthrough by December. Toomas told us
that the GOE considers it "still too early to speculate on
what to do if there is no UN Security Resolution." Estonia
continues to support the Ahtisaari Proposal in EU fora with
skeptical member states (e.g., Spain, Greece, Cyprus, and
Hungary). Toomas said that while there have been some
promising signs from the Greeks -- who have recently
acknowledged that the status quo for Kosovo is untenable --
a common EU position on what to do in lieu of a UN
resolution is nowhere near.
