The High Representative and EU Special Representative (HR/EUSR) in BiH Valentin Inzko today visited EUFOR HQ where he paid an official call upon COM EUFOR Major General Stefano Castagnotto.

COM EUFOR briefed on EUFOR activities, the current security situation within BiH and the recent successful EUFOR School Competition.

The HR/EUSR visited the Multi National Battalion (MNBN) and Integrated Police Unit (IPU), elements of EUFOR HQ and observed a EUFOR live demonstration.

COM EUFOR stated, “This has been an ideal opportunity to introduce the HR/EUSR to witness all elements and activities of EUFOR mission within BiH.”

The HR/EUSR stated, “The EU is resolute in its commitment to a prosperous and stable BiH inside the EU.  27 EU Foreign Ministers again this weekend promised BiH that the doors to membership are open:  BiH is in a fortuitous position, one that many are envious of.  EU political, economic, civilian and military forces are all deployed in BiH offering far greater assistance than that offered to any other potential candidate country, previous or current.  The EU is working now on new mechanisms that will strengthen our capacity to help this country even further.”
