Georgia
--------------
1. (C) On June 10, Emboff discussed the U.S. nonpaper (ref)
with European Correspondent Jernej Muller. Muller was unable
to provide Slovenia's views on whether/how the U.S. might
best support the EUMM because Slovenia has not yet developed
its position. He noted that Slovenia has focused more on
what the EU could do to strengthen the EUMM. Slovenia
strongly supported the EUMM staying in Georgia, and thought
it could expand to fill in some OSCE roles, notably working
on democracy, human rights and the rule of law. He also
welcomed the Vice President's trip as demonstrating U.S.
commitment to Georgia.
Iran
--------------
2. (C) Muller stressed that the EU should keep its actions
relating to the nuclear issue separate from the political
detentions. On the former, Slovenia maintained its wary
stance on sanctions. He stated that UN sanctions were
optimal, but if there were sanctions outside the UN regime,
the EU needed to talk with PRC and Russia. Slovenia
supported a gradual approach in responding to the detentions.
He noted that Slovenia hoped that a "go slow" policy with
visas would be enough, but mentioned that some EU member
states did not have a visa regime with Iran.
Somalia
--------------
3. (C) Muller said that preparatory discussions about
different proposals on Somalia were ongoing in Brussels. He
took on board our points.
