Today, at the “Rajlovac” barracks, the Minister of Defence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zukan Helez, and the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Alfred Grannas, signed a Technical Arrangement regarding a financial donation for infrastructure works at Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina sites. The arrangement concerns the construction of helicopter hangars at the Rajlovac and Mahovljani locations.
“The one-million-euro donation is intended for the implementation of the first phase of constructing helicopter hangars at the Rajlovac and Mahovljani sites. This project will significantly enhance the infrastructure and operational capabilities of the Armed Forces of BiH, particularly regarding the housing, maintenance, and support of the helicopter fleet,” Helez stated.
He also noted the recently signed support from the Federal Republic of Germany – an additional three million euros – allocated for upgrading storage facilities at the Rabić–Derventa site. This serves as further confirmation of the continuity and tangible nature of German support for the defence institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The project will be implemented through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As part of this activity, a separate agreement was signed between the Federal Republic of Germany and the UNDP, governing the implementation of the project.
The agreement was signed on behalf of the UNDP by its Resident Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Renaud Meyer, the Ministry of Defence of BiH announced.
