1. (C) Denmark will oppose any effort to invoke the OSCE's
Berlin Mechanism in connection with a declaration of
independence from Kosovo. MFA Kosovo Desk Officer Asger
Kroll told us February 12 that Denmark sees "eye to eye" with
the USG on the inappropriateness of the Berlin Mechanism in
this context. Kroll also added that Denmark had heard
February 12 that Serbia was ready to abandon its push for use
of the Berlin Mechanism, lacking a clear prospect of support
from 12 participating states. Instead, said Kroll, the Danes
now hear that Serbia may seek "a regular meeting" of the OSCE
to highlight Serb opposition to Kosovo's independence.
