¶1. Post delivered reftel on March 4 to MFA Director of the
Americas Department Ilir Melo. Melo confirmed Albania's
support for the August 20 date of Afghan elections. He also
confirmed that Albania will send a company (around 125
additional troops) to Afghanistan later in the year, as
Berisha stated to Secretary Clinton. The GOA will take into
considerations other potential contributions listed in
reftel.
