OSCE COUNTERTERRORISM CONFERENCE

REF: SECSTATE 62142

(U) DCM and Russian DCM Sergey Simakin jointly delivered
reftel demarche on May 17 to Stanislav Vidovic, head of the
MFA's Security Policy Division. Vidovic said that Slovenia
would participate in the Counterterrorism conference and that
its delegation would most likely be headed by Andrej
Slapnicar, a Security Policy Division official heading the
ESDP unit and responsible for COTER issues. He also thought
that the Slovenian delegation would include representatives
from the Ministry of Defense and/or police, the intelligence
agency, the Ministries of Justice and Finance, and perhaps an
academic specialist. Vidovic commented on the joint
demarche, calling it unexpected and welcome.
