EUFOR’s annual multinational exercise, Quick Response 2025, is taking place from 9 to 26 September across Bosnia and Herzegovina. It involves troops from 25 contributing nations, including EU Member States and non-EU countries currently deployed in-theatre. These forces are temporarily reinforced by reserve units from the Czech Republic and Hungary, as well as international peacekeeping troops from KFOR – Kosovo Forces.
The Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina (AFBiH) and BiH Law Enforcement Agencies are also actively participating, training alongside EUFOR personnel. The aim of the exercise is to enhance operational readiness, strengthen cooperation, and reaffirm EUFOR’s commitment to supporting BiH authorities in maintaining a safe and secure environment for all citizens.
