¶1. (C) Emboff delivered Ref A demarche to Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Europe
Department Director Kao Samreth October 6. While not
disclosing specifically whether the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia
will support or oppose the Serbian resolution, Kao stressed
that Cambodia does not wish to encourage secession in any
country and therefore does not support the independence of
Kosovo. (Ref B.) Kao drew parallels to independence claims
for South Ossetia and stated that Cambodia would not
encourage tension within a country by supporting independence
claims.
