REF: SECSTATE 24186
We met on March 23 with Sabahka Rado, the head of the
Department for Central and Eastern Europe at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, to deliver reftel points concerning Russia's
recognition of Georgia's breakaway regions, Abkhazia and
South Ossetia, as independent states. Ms. Rado noted that
Bosnia has supported resolutions in support of Georgia's
sovereignty by the UN Security Council, the EU, and the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE),
and like the U.S., opposes Russia's recognition and its
decision to establish military bases in the breakaway regions.
