1. (C) Acting Political Counselor delivered points from
reftel to Ambassador Vladimir Matek, the Foreign Minister's
advisor for UNSC, on August 14. Matek stated that the points
about engaging Russia would be communicated immediately to
the appropriate officials in the GOC. He explained that
holiday season was complicating Croatia's response to events
in Georgia since President Mesic, Prime Minister Sanader,
and Foreign Minister Jandrokovic were all out of Zagreb on
vacation. (Note: August 15 is an official Croatian holiday.
End Note.) He said, however, that the GOC had had a
conference call this morning, led by Sanader, during which
Croatia decided to send 150,000 euros worth of assistance to
Georgia through the Red Cross. He also noted that the
Foreign Minister was planning on attending the ministerial
meeting at NATO next week.
