POTENTIAL ARTICLE 16 RESOLUTION
REF: SECSTATE 12900
Poloff delivered reftel demarche points on February 12, 2009
and followed up on February 13, 2009 regarding the Potential
Article 16 UN Security Council Resolution to Vesna Vukovic,
head of the MFA's UN office. She took note of our position
and said that she would forward the U.S. views regarding the
need to defeat a potential resolution to her colleagues in
New York for consideration. She noted that Croatia, in
general, is against article 16 resolutions, but a final
decision would not be taken until an internal discussion took
place with their mission in New York. Post will report any
substantive response in a septel, but it would seem that
Croatia's New York mission will take the lead on this
decision, which allows for direct engagement by USUN.
