The Embassy of the United States of America presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and on behalf of the Government of the United States of America has the honor to refer to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483 of May 22, 2003 and recent discussions between the two governments regarding the overflight and transit through the territory and airspace of Slovenia by U.S. aircraft and personnel for purposes of supporting security, transition and reconstruction operations in Iraq.
As a result of these discussions, the Embassy proposes that U.S. aircraft, including those carrying cargo, and U.S military personnel be authorized to overfly and transit through the territory and airspace of Slovenia for purposes of supporting security, transition and reconstruction operations in Iraq. The Embassy proposes further that the United States Government provide 24 hours notice to the Government of Slovenia of the types and number of such transiting aircraft, their tail numbers, and the routes to be flown.
Additionally, it is proposed that such aircraft not be subject to the payment of landing and parking fees, or of navigation, overflight and terminal charges, but will pay reasonable charges for services requested and received and that the Agreement among the States Parties to the North Atlantic Treaty and the other States Participating in the Partnership for Peace Regarding the Status of Their Forces, done in Brussels on June 19, 1995, and entered into force on February 17, 1996, apply with respect to these flights, vehicles, and personnel.
If the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of Slovenia, the Embassy proposes that this note, together with the Ministry’s reply, shall constitute an agreement between the two governments which shall be applied provisionally from the date of the Ministry’ s note and shall enter into force definitively on the date of the Ministry’ s note informing the Embassy that the Government of Slovenia has completed all of the necessary internal procedures required for the entry into force of the Agreement..

Veleposlaništvo Združenih držav Amerike izraža spoštovanje Ministrstvu za zunanje zadeve in ima v imenu Vlade Združenih držav Amerike čast sklicevati se na resolucijo Varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov št. 1483 z dne 22. maja 2003 in na nedavne razgovore med predstavniki obeh vlad glede preletov in tranzita letal in osebja Združenih držav čez ozemlje in skozi zračni prostor Slovenije za namene podpore varnostnim operacijam ter operacijam tranzicije in obnove v Iraku.
Na podlagi teh razgovorov veleposlaništvo predlaga, da zrakoplovi in vozila Združenih držav, vključno s tistimi, ki prevažajo tovor, in vojaško osebje Združenih držav dobijo dovoljenje za prelete čez ozemlje in skozi zračni prostor ter tranzit prek ozemlja Slovenije za namene podpore varnostnim operacijam ter operacijam tranzicije in obnove v Iraku. Veleposlaništvo prav tako predlaga, da Vlada Združenih držav 24 ur vnaprej obvesti Vlado Slovenije o tipu in številu letal v tranzitu, njihovih številkah na repu letala in smeri letenja.
Poleg tega se predlaga, da tem letalom ne bi bilo treba plačati pristojbin za pristajanje in parkiranje ali stroškov navigacije, preleta in terminala, plačali pa bodo primerne stroške za zahtevane in opravljene storitve, in da se za te lete, vozila in osebje uporablja Sporazum med državami pogodbenicami Severnoatlantskega pakta in drugimi državami, ki sodelujejo v Partnerstvu za mir, glede statusa njihovih sil, podpisan v Bruslju 19. junija 1995, ki je začel veljati 17. februarja 1996.
Če je to sprejemljivo za Vlado Slovenije, veleposlaništvo predlaga, da ta nota in odgovor ministrstva sestavljata sporazum med vladama, ki se začasno uporablja od dneva odgovora ministrstva in začne veljati na dan, ko ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve obvesti veleposlaništvo, da so izpolnjeni vsi potrebni notranji postopki za začetek veljavnosti tega sporazuma.
Veleposlaništvo Združenih držav Amerike tudi ob tej priložnosti izraža Ministrstvu za zunanje zadeve svoje odlično spoštovanje.
