REF: STATE 115371
Classified By: Counselor for Political and Economic Affairs William Moz dzierz, Reasons 1.4 (B) and (D)
(C) Denmark sees Transnistria's proposed independence referendum as unhelpful and damaging to ongoing 5 2 negotiations. MFA Desk Officer for Moldova Albert Bruun Birnbaum told PolOff July 19 that Denmark shares U.S. views provided in ref points and added that the Danes are puzzled by Russian motives in connection with this latest development. Birnbaum said Denmark was already discussing with EU partners how to respond. PolOff urged Birnbaum to look for opportunities for Denmark to register its concerns with Russian contacts. KAISER
