To.VIKTOR[i].
KOLO[ [ii] is leaving by air for SIDON[iii] on 25th July 1944. Your
instructions have been passed on to him. Take into account the fact that
KOLO [2 groups unrecovered] leadership[RUKOVODSTVO]. For example when
HALPERN[GAL'PERN][iv], who had arrived from SIDON, toldKOLO that SERES[v]
was certain about the inclusion in the Government of KONSTANTINOVIC[vil and
TOPALOVIC[vii]
[8 groups unrecovered]
He [Co will have to be] told not to take any important decisions without
preliminary clearance from us.
KOLO needs L3 groups unrecovered]. He has no personal ambition.
110 groups unrecovered]
his ehaviour, one. can take it that he is a man who is devoted to us and who
understands that the well-being of his native country depends on our support.
To establish contact our man tells KOLC that VLADOLvj}; ] i s Tyi2E[ITR1(ix~
wishes to be remembered to him.
A year ago KOLO lot slip to SERES the fact that he was-in contact with
SERGEJ[a][x]. KOLO himself, in view of the position: which SERES is occupying[b],
suspects that the latter is in contact with us although S. [xi] has never
betrayed to him-his dealings with SERGEJ. This shows [2 groups unrecovered]
KOLO [C% the necessity for absolute secrecy]. In future one should go on
patiently explaining the importance of this point to him.
