State Department Noon Briefing
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
DAILY PRESS BRIEFING
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2000 12:40 P.M. (ON THE RECORD UNLESS OTHERWISE
NOTED)
Q: Is Jim O'Brien going to Belgrade?
MR. BOUCHER: Not that I've heard of, but I'll check.
Q: I mean, this was put to me. I can't remember quite what the details
are. No?
MR. BOUCHER: Not that I've heard of, but I'll check.
Q: He's already been. Is there anything new from yesterday on the
diplomatic front there?
MR. BOUCHER: No. The answer is still soon, or very soon.
Q: Very soon. Imminent, perhaps?
Q: What does "very soon" mean in this context? I mean, "very soon" to
me means like within a week, so can you offer what it means to you?
MR. BOUCHER: That's roughly what it means to us, yes. But, you know,
it is not scheduled. It is not set at this point. We are going through
the process. We are doing the letters we have to do - in the process
of doing it with the Government of Yugoslavia. But we don't have a
specific moment at which it is going to happen. It is not like I know
exactly when it is going to happen but I'm refusing to say; it is just
we are well engaged in this process. We are making progress, but we
haven't reached a conclusion yet.
Q: No snags?
MR. BOUCHER: Not that I've heard of.
(The briefing was concluded at 1:20 P.M.)
