The Commander of the European Union Force (COM EUFOR), Major General Johann Luif, welcomed The High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Dr Valentin Inzko, to the EUFOR Headquarters on 3 December 2015. This important visit not only marked the 20th Anniversary of the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, but also supported EUFOR Headquarter’s Staff Officer training by maintaining an essential understanding of the joint significance of the High Representative, the Dayton Peace Agreement, and the EUFOR Mandate. The visit started with a formal welcome meeting with COM EUFOR followed by a meeting with EUFOR Division Chefs and personnel.
COM EUFOR considered it a great privilege to be able to host the High Representative at EUFOR Headquarters. He looked forward to hearing His Excellency’s address on the Office of the High Representative and the important role it continues to play in support of the Dayton Peace Agreement. The High Representative, together with the Office of the High Representative here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, were created in 1995 immediately after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
