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 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.

TAGS: PGOV PREL NZ UN YI EU UNMIK
SUBJECT: LOBBYING NEW ZEALAND ON KOSOVO INDEPENDENCE 
 
REF: STATE 13716 
 
Classified By: DCM DAVID J. KEEGAN, EMBASSY WELLINGTON. REASONS 1.4 (B) 
 AND (D). 
 
 1. (C) DCM presented the demarche reftel to Caroline 
Forsyth, MFAT Deputy Secretary for Multilateral and Global 
Affairs, on February 12. She responded that New Zealand has 
been following developments in Kosovo closely. GNZ has a 
long-standing established practice of not making declarations 
of recognition, but it rather allows that to be inferred from 
its actions. She said that she expected the GNZ would do the 
same in this case. 
 
2. (C) DCM urged that New Zealand consider some public 
statement in support of Kosovo's declaration of independence, 
perhaps in the form of a press release from the Foreign 
Minister. Forsyth promised to discuss the matter with others 
in the Ministry and get back to post.
