¶1. (SBU) Emboff delivered reftel demarche on the Goldstone 
Report to Smiljana Knez, Minister Plenipotentiary in the 
MFA's International Organization and Human Security Division. 
 Knez stated that Slovenia was looking for the EU to take a 
common position following today's meeting in Geneva.  She 
noted that Slovenia was "not enthusiastic" about the special 
session, with concerns about how the debate could affect the 
broader peace process.  Knez would not speculate on what 
position Slovenia would take should the EU fail to find a 
common position, saying only that Slovenia agreed with us 
that the Human Rights Council is the right forum for such 
discussions.
