SUBJECT: MACEDONIA: IMPLEMENTING UNSCR 1803 DELAYED BY
EARLY ELECTIONS

REF: STATE 21770

Per Reftel, PolOff encouraged MFA Director for Multilateral
Affairs Svetlana Geleva to ensure Macedonia's timely
submission of a report detailing steps taken to implement
UNSCR 1803 (Iran Sanctions) to the UNSC. Geleva said that
Macedonia's implementation of the provisions of UNSCR 1803
has been delayed by the April 12 dissolution of Parliament
and subsequent call for early Parliamentary elections.
Geleva is hopeful that the technical government will take
actions to implement the provisions of UNSCR 1803 next week.
She indicated that Macedonia will promptly report
implementation actions to the UNSC.
