SARAJEVO, February 12 (FENA) – Bosnia and Herzegovina has become the provider, instead of the consumer, of international military aid, and the members of the BiH Armed Forces and police in all locations receive the highest commendations, said today in Sarajevo the BiH Defense Minister Marina Pendeš at the presentation of the publication “Bosnia and Herzegovina in Worldwide Peacekeeping Sessions – A Contribution to Peacebuilding Worldwide”, organized by the Center for Security Studies.

Ms. Pendeš stressed that the members of the BiH AF were currently taking part in the execution of various tasks in four peacekeeping missions, in Afghanistan, Mali, Congo and the Central African Republic.

She stated that 67 members participated in peacekeeping missions outside of BiH, four percent of whom were women and that the BiH gave equal opportunities to both men and women and that it is up to them whether they would accept them or not.

Ms. Pendeš said that BiH, as a small country with limited resources, strives toward integrating all its defense potentials and functions into a global system of collective security on the foundations of international cooperation, engagement and partnership in a way to offer quality capacities and capabilities for participating in missions.

“For 17 years now, officers, NCOs and soldiers have been actively involved in providing assistance at various crisis focal points around the world, thus affirming themselves as true ambassadors of our country,” concluded the BiH Defense Minister.

For 17 years, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been contributing to joint international efforts in establishing and preserving peace and stability in the world. From 2000 to 2017, a total of 1498 members and members of the police and AF structures from BiH participated in peacekeeping missions and peace support operations under the auspices of the UN, NATO and the EU.
