Andrej Ster to seek Slovenia's support to implement a set of
suggested preventive measures designed to protect financial
institutions from specific techniques employed by Iran to
evade the controls of responsible countries and institutions
(reftel). Ster pointed out that Slovenia was not yet a
member of FATF, but hoped to become a member upon its

how it could implement the recommended preventive measures.
He noted that Slovenia followed the UNSC measures and
believed they were important. He added that Slovenia would
likely need to amend its legislation.
