EUFOR celebrated Spanish National Week in the recent days. EUFOR members had the opportunity to learn about Spanish culture, history and traditions and celebrate the National Day of Spain on the 12 October.

National Day of Spain commemorates the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus for Spain on 12 October 1492. The date is a key point for Spain's overseas influence and legacy to the world and to the Americas in particular.

During the Spanish week, the Ambassador of Spain to Bosnia and Herzegovina, H.E. Maria Molina Alvarez de Toledo laid a wreath in memory of their comrades in Camp Butmir. Congratulations to our Spanish comrades on an excellent national week.
