Bosnia:Germany participates again in the EU military mission
Troop deployment was approved 10 years after withdrawal.
09 July, 15:33
(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, 09 LUG - Germany will participate again in
the European military mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Eufor/Althea. The Bundestag made this decision, which gave the
green light to the deployment of 50 units in the EU mission
nearly ten years after their withdrawal in 2012.
However, Eufor/Althea's mandate risks not being renewed next November by the UN Security Council due to possible opposition from Russia.
The vote on the mission's mandate is likely to occur just weeks before the country's general elections. Moreover, it would coincide with the secessionist agenda of Republika Srpska (one of Bosnia-Herzegovina's two Serb-majority entities, ed.), already announced by the Bosnian Serb leader, Milorad Dodik.
Finally, the German parliament passed a resolution accusing Dodik and Dragan Covic, leader of the largest Bosnian-Croat political party (Hdz BiH, which is akin to the ruling party in Croatia, ed.), of aiming at the "destruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina." Another critical passage warns Serbia and Croatia to distance themselves from nationalist and separatist forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina. (ANSA).
