SUBJECT: SERBIA: RESPONSE ON IOM DIRECTOR GENERAL CANDIDATE
REF: STATE 54562
We presented information about and urged Serbia's support for IOM
director general candidate Ambassador William Swing to Serbian MFA
Human Rights Counselor Marina Ivanovic on June 6. Ivanovic told us
that Serbia had not made a final decision on which IOM director
general candidate to support and had not sent voting instructions to
its delegates. Ivanovic said the government was inclined to support
a regional representative, so it was leaning toward backing Luca
Riccardi. She said the government would make a final decision by
early the week of June 16 and would let us know then.
