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.

ΒΆ1.  (U)  We delivered REFTEL points to MFA's Kamen Velichkov, 
Head of the UN and Global Issues Department on March 12. 
Velichkov welcomed the appointment of Norwegian Political 
Director Kai Eide as UNSG Special Representative for 
Afghanistan.  Velichkov noted that Eide enjoyed a good 
reputation in Bulgaria and the Balkans when he was a UN 
Special Envoy to Kosovo and as a UN Special Representative to 
Bosnia-Herzegovina.  Velichkov took the opportunity to 
express Bulgaria's aspiration to host a UN Department of 
Political Affairs (DPA) field office for peace building.  He 
cited Bulgaria's geopolitical location in the Balkans and 
proximity to the Caucuses, as well as its good relations with 
countries in these regions as factors in Bulgaria's favor.
