1. (SBU) On June 30, Political Minister Counselor contacted SRE's
Office of Peace and International Security to urge once again
that Mexico recognize Kosovo's independence. Polcons
stressed the priority the U.S. attaches to this issue. The
Office's Deputy Director General said the GOM appreciates the
points that we have raised on several occasions, but that
Mexico's position on independence had not changed. He said
that Mexico was unaware of the upcoming EU donors' conference
and thanked us for bringing it to his attention.
