The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, will pay a visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina tomorrow as part of his multi-day visit to the Western Balkans.
According to the currently available schedule of visits, Borrell will first visit the operation of the European Military Forces (EUFOR Althea) in Sarajevo, which has received reinforcements in recent days, and 500 soldiers have been deployed throughout BiH.
“The deployment of reserves and their equipment, including light armored vehicles, is a precautionary measure and a proportional measure that shows EUFOR’s determination to support our BiH partners in maintaining a safe and secure environment (SASE – Safe and Secure Environment),” it was stated then.
During his visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina, a senior European Union official should meet with representatives of the government, the opposition and civil society.
Earlier, Borrell visited Northern Macedonia, where he said that in the current times, everyone should cooperate together without political divisions, emphasizing that the Western Balkans is a strategic priority for the European Union.
As it was pointed out, his several-day visit to the Western Balkans will confirm the EU’s commitment and support to the region.
