(C) Poland appreciates the U.S. position on NATO enlargement
and is unlikely to object to the U.S. approach at next
month's Foreign Ministerial meeting. In response to a
demarche based on reftels, Ambassador Adam Kobieracki,
Director of the MFA Security Policy Department, did not
respond in detail, but observed that Warsaw could support
Montenegro's entry into a Membership Action Plan (MAP). He
reiterated long-standing Polish support for Alliance
membership for Georgia and Ukraine, but said those countries'
candidacies were not linked to Montenegro's. He did not
indicate that there is Polish interest in pursuing a MAP for
Bosnia.
