4. (SBU) Summary:  Bosnian Foreign Minister Alkalaj led a 
meeting of the Adriatic Charter (A5) Foreign Ministers on the 
margins of UNGA on September 23.  EUR DAS Jones participated 
for the U.S., and Assistant Minister Zugic was present as an 
observer from Serbia.  The A5 partners reiterated support for 
the International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF) in 
Afghanistan and outlined current and future contributions. 
Both Bosnian FM Alkalaj and Montenegrin FM Rocen described 
their efforts to apply for NATO Membership Action Plans 
(MAP), and asked for support.  FM Alkalaj offered an idea for 
the A5's consideration involving designating military 
training centers with special niche capabilities in each 
country, and offering regional training together, 
particularly prior to deployments.  A5 members agreed to 
consult with their Ministries of Defense and discuss the idea 
at the September 29 MFA NATO political directors meeting.  FM 
Alkalaj briefed on the successful "Combined Endeavor" NATO 
exercise held in Banja Luka September 14-17, and outlined his 
plans for the remaining months of A5 events under the 
six-month Bosnian chairmanship.  Serbian Assistant Minister 
Zugic noted Serbia was happy to be an observer in the A5 and 
participate in Partnership for Peace (PfP) and other 
activities but remained concerned about the majority of NATO 
members having recognized Kosovo.  End Summary. 
 
Support for NATO ISAF Participation 
------------------------------------- 
 
5. (C) Bosnian FM Alkalaj noted that participation in the 
International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF) was 
important for NATO aspirants to show readiness to join the 
fight, and asked for everyone to describe their plans. 
Macedonian State Counselor for Multilateral and Security 
Affairs Zoran Dabic said Macedonia would continue to 
strengthen its contribution to ISAF.  In 2009, Macedonia 
enhanced its presence to 167 troops on the ground, serving 
with the British in Kabul and participating in Provincial 
Reconstruction Teams.  In 2010, the Macedonian government 
plans to increase its contribution by 50%, which would bring 
the total to approximately 250, including contributions to 
civilian structures.  Croatian FM Jandrokovic called 
Afghanistan a top international priority, and said it was 
important for NATO aspirants to participate in ISAF to 
demonstrate to NATO their capacity, political will and 
ability to meet NATO standards. He welcomed in particular the 
contributions of Bosnia and Montenegro in this regard, and 
said Croatia will continue to contribute to ISAF.  It 
currently has almost 300 troops serving with the Germans in 
the north. 
 
6. (C) Montenegrin Foreign Minister Rocen said Montenegro was 
finalizing plans to deploy troops to ISAF by the end of 
February or March of 2010, to include an infantry platoon of 
25 soldiers, a medical team of three members, two staff 
officers and one logistics officer with the Hungarian 
contingent under German command.  Albanian Foreign Minister 
Meta said Albania was strongly committed to ISAF. As a new 
NATO member, it sent an additional unit of 110 troops to 
serve with the Italians in Herat, and it planned to send a 
 
STATE 00102518  002 OF 003 
 
 
20-person medical team soon.  Bosnian FM Alkalaj said it had 
designated 10 troops to serve in ISAF, but recognized that 
Bosnia needed to do more.  The Minister of Defense recently 
returned from a trip to Kabul, and the government is strongly 
considering sending approximately 200 troops in the near 
future. 
 
New Idea to Improve NATO Interoperability 
  And Regional Cooperation 
----------------------------------------- 
 
7. (C) FM Alkalaj proposed that A5 members consider building 
regional capacities for training and deployment by 
designating each country's training centers with different 
special niche capabilities, and offering joint training to 
the countries, particularly prior to deployments.  He 
suggested that each country discuss the idea with its 
Ministry of Defense and others, and bring some initial 
responses to the Adriatic Charter NATO political directors 
meeting in Sarajevo on September 29. 
 
MAP Applications of BiH and Montenegro 
-------------------------------------- 
 
8. (C) FM Alkalaj said Bosnia planned to present its 
Membership Action Plan (MAP) application on October 2 in 
Brussels.  A delegation led by President Komsic, the Foreign 
and Defense Ministers and the Chief of Defense would present 
it; by happenstance all ethnic groups would be represented. 
He emphasized it would add an additional pillar of stability 
in Bosnia to be under a NATO umbrella.  He said he hoped its 
MAP application would be considered at the December 
Ministerial and asked for the support of the three NATO 
members present - Albania, Croatia and the United States. 
 
9. (C) Montenegrin Foreign Minister Rocen spoke at length, 
beginning by looking the Serbian observer in the eye and 
noting that countries will not lose their identity by joining 
NATO.  Rocen said Montenegro understood NATO was not a 
charity organization, and that it was necessary to fulfill 
the requirements for membership.  He was encouraged by the 
April NATO communiqu, and pleased by the strong support of 
neighboring countries, the U.S. and the Alliance.  He noted 
Montenegro's successful participation in the "Combined 
Endeavor" exercise.  He offered a non-paper on Montenegro's 
MAP application, and asked for support, noting Montenegro was 
eager to contribute to NATO's priorities. 
 
10. (C) Croatian FM Jandrokovic said Croatia in principle 
supports all EU and NATO aspirants and wishes the best to all 
on their efforts.  On MAP, he noted Croatia would be happy to 
help both countries fulfill all requirements and provide 
technical assistance.  Macedonian State Counselor Dabic said 
with a smile that since Macedonia is in its 11th cycle with 
MAP, it would be happy to provide any and all technical 
assistance, and invited both countries to visit Skopje for 
help. Albanian FM Meta said he offered his strongest support 
for both countries, efforts.  DAS Jones said he hoped to be 
able to share news on the United State's position on MAP with 
both countries shortly. 
 
Operation "Combined Endeavor" a Success 
---------------------------------------- 
 
11. (C) FM Alkalaj briefed on the NATO "Combined Endeavor" 
exercise held in Banja Luka September 14-17, and noted it was 
the first time NATO held such an exercise on a non-NATO 
member country's soil.  He said 95% of tests were passed, and 
that SACEUR Admiral Stavridis told them he was pleasantly 
surprised at its success. 
 
Plans for Future Events of A5 
----------------------------- 
 
12. C) FM Alkalaj outlined Bosnia's plans for the Adriatic 
Charter under its chairmanship: 
 
-- September 29 - MFA NATO Political Directors Meeting in 
Sarajevo 
 
-- October 19-23 - Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) 
Meeting, in part to discuss raising public awareness of the 
benefits of NATO membership 
 
-- October TBD - Members of Parliament Meeting 
 
 
STATE 00102518  003 OF 003 
 
 
-- November 18 - Ministers of Defense Meeting 
 
-- December TBD - Ministers of Foreign Affairs Meeting 
 
Serbia as an A5 Observer 
------------------------ 
 
13. (C) Serbian Assistant Minister Vuk Zugic said he 
reiterated Serbia's view that developing regional ties and 
good relations was important, and that Serbia is pleased to 
be an observer in the Adriatic Charter.  Partnership for 
Peace (PfP) activities are a priority for Serbia, which 
signed a security agreement in 2008 and plans to open a 
mission to NATO soon; an Ambassador has been designated. 
However, Serbia must point out the difficulty presented in 
NATO cooperation because most NATO member countries have 
recognized Kosovo.  Serbia believes NATO assistance to the 
Kosovo Security Force is illegal, but believes that KFOR must 
remain as the main security provider.  Serbia's primary 
Euro-Atlantic goal is to join the European Union. 
 
Concluding Remarks 
------------------ 
 
14. (C) FM Alkalaj thanked everyone for a good meeting, and 
asked DAS Jones to make concluding remarks.  DAS Jones said 
the meeting reminded him of the shared ambition of South 
Central European countries and the importance of 
Euro-Atlantic integration to promote stability.  Regional 
cooperation is vital, as is continuing on the path to EU and 
NATO integration.  The idea on developing niche capability 
and cooperative regional training merits consideration, and 
consultation with Ministries of Defense will be important. 
DAS Jones said Serbia and the United States have "agreed to 
disagree" on Kosovo, but emphasized that Kosovo is an 
essential part of the region, and its political and economic 
stability are in everyone's interest.  Given the early 
development of its defense institutions, it would be 
premature to consider Kosovo for A-5 membership.  But, Kosovo 
should be factored into regional planning and organizations.
