Classified By: Pol/Econ Chief Carl Fox for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)
(C) Poloff delivered reftel demarche concerning Kosovo
recognition to MFA Foreign Service Officer Noel Kaganda on
December 15. Kaganda said Tanzania was waiting on the ICJ
opinion. He said that while Tanzania understands the drive
for a people to be independent, countries should be cautious
in recognizing any group's self-declared independence. It
was his view that a positive ruling from the ICJ would add
firmer ground for Tanzania to recognize Kosovo.
