SARAJEVO, March 16 (FENA) - EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell will pay a visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina today as part of a multi-day visit to the Western Balkans.
According to the currently available schedule of visits, Borrell will first visit the operation of the European Military Forces (EUFOR Altea) in Sarajevo, which has received reinforcements in recent days, and 500 soldiers have been deployed throughout BiH.
- The deployment of reserves and their equipment, including light armored vehicles, is a precautionary measure and a proportional measure that shows EUFOR's determination to support our BiH partners in maintaining a safe and secure environment (SASE - Safe and Secure Environment) - it was stated then.
During his visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina, a senior European Union official should meet with representatives of the government, the opposition and civil society.
Earlier, Borrell visited Northern Macedonia, where he said that in the current times, everyone should cooperate together without political divisions, emphasizing that the Western Balkans is a strategic priority for the European Union.
As it was pointed out, Borrell's several-day visit to the Western Balkans will confirm the European Union's commitment and support to the region, having in mind, among other things, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the impact of that war on Europe's security as a whole.
