SUBJECT: JAPAN SUPPORTS HIGH REPRESENTATIVE MIROSLAV LAJCAK
REF: STATE 149684
Classified By: Ambassador J. Thomas Schieffer for reasons 1.4 (b) and (
d).
(C) Japan fully agrees with the U.S. position and will
declare its support for the High Representative during the
October 30-31 Peace Implementation Council meeting in
Sarajevo, MOFA Central and South Eastern Europe Division
Principal Deputy Director Yuichi Oba told Embassy Tokyo
Political Officer October 29. The Japanese government
believes that the High Representative's actions were fully in
line with the Dayton Accords, but Japanese officials are
concerned about whether Lajcak consulted with political
leaders like Dodik sufficiently before the new measures were
declared. Japan values consensus highly and will back the
High Representative, but Lacjak should closely coordinate new
measures with other political leaders to avoid crises in the
future, Oba finished.
