Over the last number of days EUFOR has welcomed the arrival of Reserve Forces to Op Althea by land and by air. The Reserve Forces were comprised of multiple nations demonstrating EUFOR’s capability to quickly reinforce Op Althea with military personnel, vehicles, equipment and enhanced capability.
This temporary reinforcement with Reserve Forces included Italian helicopters with aviation detachments arriving to Camp Butmir, Czech and Romanian military personnel landing in Sarajevo Airport and arriving by land through border crossing points in military vehicle convoys.
EUFOR would like to thank the citizens of BiH for their understanding and patience during the movement of these large military convoys. This temporary increased presence of EUFOR personnel is a strong and visible sign of EUFOR’s unity and unwavering commitment to stability and security in BiH.
EUFOR’s capacity as a multinational force is essential in supporting BiH institutions in maintaining a safe and secure environment for all citizens of BiH.
