1. (U) In 2007 Slovenia enacted a new Act on the Prevention
of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism, which became
applicable in January 2008. During Slovenia's Presidency of
the EU Council, Slovenia chaired an EU troika meeting with
the United States on the external aspects of fighting against
terrorism, as well as international terrorist financing.
Slovenia also chaired an EU-U.S. workshop on financial
sanctions; all three events were in May. Slovenia's Ministry
of Defense held a regional counterterrorism conference,
sponsored by the Counterterrorism Fellowship Program, in
September. The Conference included 90 military and civilian
personnel from Slovenia and six western Balkan countries.
Slovenia continued to provide two instructors as part of the
NATO training mission in Iraq and 15 support personnel to the
NATO mission in Chad. Slovenia also contributed 66 troops to
International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) efforts in
Afghanistan.
