1. (SBU) POLOFF delivered reftel points to Veronika
Lombardini, Director of MFA's Department for Human Rights and
the Council of Europe. Lombardini said the EU will discuss
support for a prisoners of conscience public affairs event
again at a meeting on July 8, but that Slovakia will not
support such an event on a bilateral basis. Lombardini said
Slovakia has vocally supported such an event among EU
partners, but rationalized that, as a small state, Slovakia
would lose credibility in the future if it was seen to ignore
the EU's decision by lending support irrespective of EU
consensus.
