COM EUFOR, Major General Maurizio Fronda, welcomed the Mayor of Srebrenica, Mr. Miloš Vučić, to EUFOR Headquarters at Camp Butmir on the 13th of November.
The visit provided an opportunity to continue EUFOR’s engagement with local authorities and to exchange views on developments affecting the municipality and the wider local community.
During the visit, Mayor Vučić received an introduction to EUFOR Operation Althea, including the mission’s mandate, activities and contribution to maintaining a safe and secure environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The visit also gave Mr. Vučić an opportunity to gain an insight into some of the personnel and capabilities that support EUFOR’s mission on a daily basis. For EUFOR, regular dialogue with mayors and municipal authorities is an important part of maintaining direct contact with communities throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. Local leaders provide valuable perspectives on developments at community level and help EUFOR maintain a broader understanding of the environment in which it operates.
Visits to Camp Butmir also provide municipal representatives with an opportunity to engage directly with EUFOR leadership, see the mission first-hand and better understand its role and capabilities.
EUFOR continues to welcome opportunities for constructive engagement with local authorities from across Bosnia and Herzegovina and remains committed to a visible, credible and impartial presence in support of a safe and secure environment.
