Dear All,

The program was sent to the UKR Mission at the HQ. Most probably there it
was translated into English. I got it from LTC Dycha. This draft was sent
to the ADC.
My intention is to try and incorporate all changes and present the really
final draft (not to include some changes and after some time - some more
changes). It is not professional to make changes to the very end before
arrival of DGIMS at the airport.

The UKR General Staff had suggested to the NIDC an interview with the
DGIMS (military media/journalist) on 10 April before the dinner. Because
at this time (16.20 - 18.30)there will be recording of another TV
interview with him for the "Security factor" and a meeting with Gen
Holopatiuk and Col Postrybailo, my suggestion is to have this second
interview on 11 April in the slot (11.30 - 11.50) which was intended for
press conference that was cancelled at the end. What do you think about
that?

Please, specify the separate timing for the meeting with Gen Holopatiuk
and the TV interview in the period, i.e. 16.40 - 17.00 - TV interview;
17.00 - 17.40 - meeting.

Best regards,

Dimiter

>> on
>> them?
>> 2. The UKR General Staff is planning to conduct an informal meeting with
>> the
>> DGIMS on the 10th of April 2014 at 17.00 (that the meeting will last not
>> more than one hour) in the restaurant of the "Premier Palace" Hotel.

>>>
>>> As I see it, there are a couple of opportunities to engage the media

>>> As to the scheduled Press Conference I recommend that the DGIMS only

>>> and has his participation.
>>>
>>> Talking to the NIDC Kiev I have the following suggestions for media
>>> engagements:
>>>
>>> *         Record an interview for the weekly television programme
>>> "Security Factor" (produced by the NIDC i.e. controlled environment,
>>> in coordination with UKR national TV Channel 5).
>>>
>>> *         Conduct an interview (15-20min) with a printed news media
>>> (outlet TBD and suggested if the Press Conference is cancelled)  The
>>> questions, for the NIDC sponsored interview are suggested as follows:
>>>  1 What are the functions of the International Military Staff and its
>>> Director General?
>>> 2. What changes can be anticipated in the Alliance's security policy
>>> in the short-term perspective?
>>> 3. In what direction is NATO developing its partnership with other
>>> states and organizations?
>>> 4. Ukraine, for many years now, participated in a number of military
>>> exercises jointly with NATO. What are the plans in this area for 2014?
>>> 5. Can you tell us about your participation in the Kyiv International
>>> Week?
>>> If agreed we will suggest answers to the questions for DGIMS
>>> preparation.
>>>
>>> With regard to the printed media I will engage with them via NIDC in
>>> order to agree the questions beforehand if DGIMS agrees to do the
>> interview.
