On September 21, PolOff delivered reftel demarche to the
Directorate of International Law Minister Counselor, Milen
Lyutskanov. Noting the recent assassination of Lebanese
Parliament member Antione Ghanem, Lyutskanov said this region
is very important for donor countries. Lyutskanov said that
Bulgaria has been active in this region and willing to help,
but that he could not immediately say what contribution from
Bulgaria would be viable. Lyutskanov will distribute
