    TAGS: PREL MARR NATO KPKO KV SZ
    SUBJECT: NATO KFOR MISSION:  SWISS NOT PLANNING ANY CHANGES \
    IN FORCE CONTRIBUTION \
     \
    REF: STATE 26179 \
     \
    Classified By: Acting Political-Economic Affairs Counselor Chris Buck; \
    reasons 1.4(b) and (d). \
     \
    --------------------------------------------- - \
    SWISS PLANNING NO CHANGES IN KFOR CONTRIBUTION \
    --------------------------------------------- - \
     \
    ¶1. (C) Acting POL-ECON Counselor and DAO representative \
    delivered the reftel message on March 19 to Marlene Odermatt, \
    Policy Advisor for International Relations and Strategy at \
    the Swiss Federal Ministry of Defense.  Odermatt said that \
    Switzerland has no plans to change its current force \
    contribution to KFOR.  In collegial but appropriately \
    cautious fashion, she referred to the fact that current Swiss \
    DefMin Ueli Maurer generally espouses his Swiss People's \
    Party (SVP) aversion to foreign deployments.  However, \
    Odermatt underlined that DefMin Maurer is well aware of the \
    importance of Balkan security to Swiss interests, given the \
    region's proximity to Switzerland and the large Kosovo expat \
    population living in Switzerland.  She further emphasized \
    that the DefMin is taking a fact-based (i.e., \
    non-ideological) approach to foreign deployment issues as \
    they are discussed within the MOD.  In that context, Odermatt \
    mentioned that DefMin Maurer on his own initiative was in the \
    early stages of considering travel to Kosovo, to visit the \
    Swiss KFOR contingent (SWISSCOY) and Kosovo officials. \
     \
    ¶2. (C) Also on March 19, A/POL-ECON Counselor passed the \
    message (reftel, para 5) via telephone to Didier Chassot, \
    Swiss MFA Regional Coordinator for South-Eastern Europe; \
    Chassot was not available to meet, due to pending travel out \
    of Bern.  In a follow up meeting at the MFA on March 20, \
    Chassot informed A/POL-ECON Counselor that the MFA concurred \
    with the USG's views and concerns with regard to the KFOR \
    posture -- the "job is not yet done."  Responding to \
    A/POL-ECON Counselor's query regarding the Swiss government's \
    current position with regard to the Kosovo Security Force \
    Trust Fund, Chassot said that, although Switzerland is \
    strongly committed to Kosovo's future, he does not believe it \
    likely that Switzerland will make a contribution to the \
    Kosovo Security Force Trust Fund, due to domestic political \
    considerations.  (Note:  Though the Swiss arms industry \
    routinely is permitted to make foreign commercial sales to a \
    range of countries, the Swiss generally are more reluctant to \
    provide foreign security assistance other than in ways that \
    clearly have only humanitarian or civil-military \
    applications, such as the types of training provided at the \
    Swiss Geneva Center for Security Policy.  End Note) \
     \
    --------------------------------------------- \
    QUICK REFERENCE:  SWITZERLAND AND KOSOVO/KFOR \
    --------------------------------------------- \
     \
    ¶3. (U) Switzerland recognized Kosovo independence on February \
    27, 2008 -- ten days after Kosovo's declaration.  In March \
    2008, Switzerland became one of the first countries to open \
    an embassy in Pristina.  FM Calmy-Rey traveled to Pristina \
    for the opening.  The Swiss government pledged CHR 77 million \
    (USD 69 million) in development assistance over three years \
    at the July 2008 international donors' conference for Kosovo. \
     Approximately 150,000 Kosovo Albanians reside in \
    Switzerland, most on long-term residency permits. \
     \
    ¶4. (U) The Swiss government made its initial decision to \
    participate in KFOR in June 1999.  Switzerland's \
    participation in KFOR is based on UNSCR 1244 and a mandate \
    from the Swiss Parliament.  The parliamentary mandate was \
    renewed last July through the end of 2011.  Up to 220 Swiss \
    military personnel (all volunteers only) serve in the \
    SWISSCOY, which is composed of support and infantry \
    companies, and an aviation detachment with two Superpuma \
    transport helicopters.  The SWISSCOY is stationed in \
    Multinational Task Force South (MNTF-S), but can be employed \
    throughout Kosovo.  The Swiss personnel are co-located with \
    Austrian personnel at Camp Casablanca.  The Swiss MOD's \
    budget for its KFOR deployment in 2008 was CHF 37.5 million \
     \
    BERN 00000127  002 OF 002 \
     \
     \
    (USD 33.5 million). \
