DELIVERED
REF: STATE 33709
(SBU) Econoff delivered reftel points to Abdulhakim
al-Eryani, Director of the Foreign Minister's office, on
April 8. Eryani said the MFA would review the points, but
commented that Yemen doesn't recognize Kosovo's sovereign
status nor any other "unilateral" declaration of
independence. (Comment: This is likely an oblique reference
to the ROYG's concern of giving legitimacy to the southern
secessionist movement in Yemen. End Comment.)
