1. (C) Post delivered reftel on September 17, 2009 to Georgi
Panayotov, Chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs NATO and
International Security Cooperation Office. Mr. Panayotov
said the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs accepts the
U.S. decision on European-based missile defense, but
requested additional information on how the site selection
process for the "phased adaptive approach" would proceed.
Specifically, the Government of Bulgaria is interested to
know whether Bulgaria might be a candidate location for
future missile defense facilities and whether future missile
defense systems would cover Bulgaria.
