KALESIJA, April 19 (FENA) - Mayor of Kalesija Sead Džafić received representatives of the Civil-Military Cooperation Support Team at the US Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina and members of the CIMIC team of the BiH Armed Forces, and the topic of discussion was joint military exercises of the Armed Forces of BiH and the United States of America near the Municipality of Kalesija.
As it was said at the meeting, in mid-May, a military exercise will be held at the Dubrava Military Base with the participation of about 200 soldiers from the USA and soldiers from the BiH Armed Forces, while about 600 soldiers will perform the same exercise at two more locations in BiH. With this exercise, Bosnia and Herzegovina is improving its partnership with US and NATO partners and will continue to develop interoperability and operations capabilities.
“I am glad that the US policy is still in favor of our country and this exercise is a proof that they are still present on our soil and that the exercise will further contribute to the security and stability of BiH. Their knowledge, which they will transfer to the Armed Forces of BiH in these exercises, is something we should appreciate and respect,” said municipal mayor Džafić.
It was also reiterated at the meeting that the United States will continue to assist BiH in achieving the goal of joining the Euro-Atlantic community and providing support to the BiH Armed Forces in responding to the crisis and other assistance.
