The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Iraq and has the honour, with reference to the letter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia of 16 February 2016 and the preceding United Nations Security Council Resolution 2249(2015) calling upon member states to redouble and coordinate their efforts to prevent and suppress terrorist acts committed specifically by ISIL also known as Da’esh, to request confirmation that the personnel of the Slovenian Armed Forces, who, with the consent of the Republic of Iraq, will be temporarily stationed in the territory of the Republic of Iraq in order to support training measures for the security forces of the Government of the Region of Kurdistan-Iraq, have been accorded the status equivalent to that of administrative and technical staff of a diplomatic mission under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 18 April 1961. Those persons will enter and leave the Republic of Iraq upon presentation of service passports that contain a valid Iraqi visa, they will wear uniforms and will carry arms for personal protection and for the protection of staff, and devices required for operations and designated installations.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Iraq the assurance of its highest consideration.
