B & D
(C) Economic Counselor presented reftel points to Finance
Minister Oscar Ivan Zuluaga April 16. Minister Zuluaga said
he had not seen the request for a write-in vote submission on
Kosovo IMF or World Bank Membership. However, he
acknowledged that an affirmative vote by Colombia, given its
previous recognition of Kosovo, made sense. Minister Zuluaga
said he would convey the USG request as soon as possible to
Colombia's IMF representative Marie Ines Agudelo in
Washington to take appropriate action on Colombia's write-in
ballot.
