(C) On February 19 PolCouns delivered (ref A) demarche to
Director General for Foreign Policy Guillermo Melendez.
Later that day, President Saca told the Ambassador that El
Salvador had made the decision to recognize Kosovo and was
hoping to make a joint announcement with other Central
American countries within the next few days. (Note: Heads
of state or other representatives from all Central American
countries are expected to convene in San Salvador on February
20 for a regularly-scheduled Central America Integration
System (SICA) summit. End note.) However, Saca said that if
there was no joint statement, El Salvador could make an
announcement on its own to recognize Kosovo at some point in
the future.
