FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, March 26 (FENA) - Bosnia and Herzegovina's Defense Minister Marina Pendeš and her associates received today the Commander of EUFOR forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Major General Anton Waldner, on the occasion of the end of his mandate and handing over the Command of the EUFOR Operation Althea.

Ms. Pendeš expressed her gratitude to General Waldner for the successful completion of his mandate and cooperation with the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of BiH, especially in the process of destroying surplus weapons and ammunition, as well as exercises and training conducted by members of the EUFOR with members of the BiH Armed Forces, which significantly increased the degree of interoperability of the BiH Armed Forces with the armed forces of NATO member states.

The participants of the meeting also highlighted other fields of cooperation between the BiH MoD and AF and the EUFOR Command in BiH, with particular emphasis on EUFOR's support for projects to improve security of weapons and ammunition storage, projects dealing with gender equality issues, support to the Peace Support Operations Training Center, demining process and other projects where the presence of EUFOR members was visible and recognizable.

Mr. Waldner expressed satisfaction that the EUFOR training activities focused on monitoring, mentoring and support, as they improved the BiH AF's ability to develop and implement their own training programs.

He particularly praised the professionalism and dedication in the work of the members of the BiH Armed Forces and emphasized that it was an honor to serve and be at the forefront of such a mission such as this EUFOR’s mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

With the expressions of gratitude for the commitment of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of BiH during the mandate, the BiH Minister of Defense wished success to General Waldner in his future career, the BiH MoD stated.
