SARAJEVO, January 21 (FENA) - Minister of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina Sifet Podžić today received Principal Deputy High Representative and Supervisor for the Brčko District, Ambassador Michael Scanlan and his associates.

In a meeting attended by Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of BiH Muhamed Smajić, Minister Podžić spoke about the priorities in the further work of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially addressing the need to increase the military budget of BiH, but also to rationalize the costs of the MoD and AF BiH.

Ambassador Scanlan emphasized the importance of the affordability of an effective BiH defense system and offered the support of the Office of the High Representative to that end, stated the MoD BiH.

"By submitting the Reform Program document to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), we pave the way for the implementation of the Defense Review, which provides guidance on how the BiH Armed Forces should look in the next ten years.

This also implies the need to increase the military budget in order to implement the AF BiH Modernization Plan,” emphasized Minister Podžić.
