COM EUFOR, Major General Maurizio Fronda, welcomed the Mayor of Sokolac, Mr. Strahinja Bašević, to Camp Butmir today, together with his delegation.
The meeting continued the dialogue between EUFOR and the Municipality of Sokolac and provided an opportunity to discuss local developments, community priorities and the importance of maintaining regular contact between EUFOR and local authorities.
Major General Fronda and Mayor Bašević exchanged views on the local environment and the value of continued engagement in strengthening mutual understanding and maintaining open channels of communication.
Following the meeting, the delegation received a briefing on EUFOR Operation Althea, including the mission’s mandate, activities and multinational presence throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. The delegation then toured Camp Butmir, gaining a closer understanding of the personnel, facilities and capabilities supporting the mission.
The visit followed COM EUFOR’s recent engagement with Mayor Bašević in Sokolac and provided an opportunity to continue that discussion at EUFOR Headquarters.
