Tonis Idarand, MFA Director for Central Europe and the
Balkans told Pol/Econ Chief that MFA's legal
Department is in the process of drafting a written
statement to the ICJ in support of Kosovo. The MFA
has already reached out to the British and Dutch for
input on arguments which could be used. Idarand
requested any additional information from the U.S.
that could assist Estonian drafters.
3. (SBU) Post requests Department send - as soon as
possible - additional information we can provide the
