SUBJECT: SERBIA INTENDS TO SEEK MEMBERSHIP IN WASSENAAR ARRANGEMENT
1. (SBU) Serbia intends to seek membership in the Wassenaar
Arrangement within the next several months, MFA Director for Weapons
Control Ambassador Branka Latinovic told us on September 24. She
said the government had already taken the decision to start the
process and hoped to finalize "internal procedures" by November, and
then formally seek membership. She asked for unspecified U.S.
support and technical assistance in conforming to Wassenaar
standards and said she would inform us as details emerge.
2. (SBU) Comment: Serbia's initiative to seek Wassenaar membership
is a good sign of its commitment to nonproliferation as well as its
intention to more actively engage in international fora, to the
benefit of both Serbia and the region. Post stands prepared to
offer any assistance to Serbia which Washington believes is
appropriate. End Comment
