Viewing cable 09ATHENS1551, SEDM: GREECE WELCOMES U.S. POSITION

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

ΒΆ1.  (SBU) Post delivered reftel to the Greek MFA's Southeastern 
Europe Directorate the morning of October 16.  Greece supports the 
membership of both Serbia and Montenegro in the Southeastern Europe 
Defense Ministerial and welcomed our message, calling it a most 
positive development.  The MFA will inform the Defense Ministry, as 
well.  On Kosovo, the MFA noted that Greece's stance is "well 
known," and that they are not ready to accept Kosovo membership in 
the SEDM.
