PM: Slovenia is no servile state

LJUBLJANA -- Slovenia does not have a servile policy and Slovenian citizens should not be ashamed, said Slovenian PM Borut Pahor, prompted by a WikiLeaks cable.

The Slovenian PM commented on the content of the U.S. diplomatic dispatch, published by the Spanish media.

Then charge d'affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Ljubljana said in the dispatch that the Slovenian prime minister had offered to accept prisoners from Guantanamo in exchange for a 20-minute meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama.

Slovenia also offered U.S. company Westinghouse a contract on the second block of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant and easy access to leaders of the Western Balkans.

The Slovenian PM stressed today in Ljubljana that "people write a lot of things in cables believing that they would remain confidential" and that their publication was "putting the U.S. authorities in an uncomfortable position".

Pahor added that Slovenia did not have a servile but a sovereign foreign policy. As far as accepting prisoners from Guantanamo is concerned, he says he never approved of the war in Iraq, and that he was advocating the closing of that prison, but that he was ready to accept one of the prisoners from Guantanamo “as a friendly country”, without any compensation.

“The impressions of American side got are wrong. I won’t say, lying,” he was quoted as saying.

As far as offering a contract to Westinghouse, despite the fact that there is already a French bidder for the project, the Slovenian prime minister said that Slovenia wants foreign investments and added, “we want investors from the world which we are a part of”.

Pahor pointed out that the rest of the world saw Slovenia as a "respectable and sovereign country".

“I would like to tell the Slovenian citizens that they have a government which is conducting a sovereign policy. Nobody should be ashamed,” he reassured the public, and added that he met with U.S. representatives on Wednesday, when he "could tell they were uncomfortable".

However, they learned from Pahor that they could "still count on Slovenia support as an ally".
