The upcoming Peace Implementation Council (PIC) meeting and SFOR were the two main issues raised by Ambassador Wolfgang Petritsch, the High Representative responsible for co-ordinating the civilian organisations and agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), during a visit to NATO HQ on 4 May.
In two weeks' time, the PIC will hold a meeting where over 50 countries will discuss the situation in Bosnia. Most NATO member countries participate in the PIC which was set up to assess progress made in the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement (1995). The last meeting was held in December 1998.
Regarding SFOR, no further reductions are planned in the six month review since recent restructuring has already brought the number of troops down from 31 000 to 20 000 men. SFOR continues to play a crucial role in Bosnia, Ambassador Petritsch explained. The newly appointed Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), General Ralston, will shortly be visiting SFOR HQ and units (11-12 May).
