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.

SUBJECT: SLOVAK RESPONSE TO TURKEY'S CHANGE OF STATUS 
REQUEST AT THE EBRD 
 
REF: SECSTATE 41999 
 
EconOff delivered reftel demarche to Mario Vircik, Director 
of the International Relations Department at the Ministry of 
Finance.  Vircik noted that Slovakia would welcome the review 
of Turkey's request for a change of status as a part of the 
broader strategic review of EBRD's mandate and operations, 
and was encouraged by the U.S. commitment to carry this out 
by the end of the year.  He noted that he did not think 
Turkey would push for an early decision if the GOT knew that 
the U.S. would vote against them.  Despite his support, 
Vircik needed to discuss the matter internally before 
confirming the formal Slovak Government position on the 
issue.
