Lord Ashdown,who is also the EU’s Special Representative for Bosnia, outlined thecurrent situation in the country and its prospects for integration withEuropean and Euro-Atlantic structures.
He described inparticular the current reform of the police forces and updated NATOAmbassadors on the country’s cooperation with the InternationalCriminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
The Ambassadors exchanged with Lord Ashdown views on how NATO could further support the country’s reform process.
The successful termination of NATO’s peacekeeping mission in Bosnia atthe end of 2004 did not spell the end of NATO’s engagement in thecountry. A moderately-sized Headquarters led by a Senior MilitaryRepresentative was established on 2 December, to provide advice ondefence reform and assistance to the Bosnian authorities in reformingthe armed forces and eventually moving towards a single military force.
The Headquarters also undertakes certain operational tasks,including counter-terrorism and support regarding the detention ofpersons indicted for war crimes and intelligence sharing with the EUpeacekeeping mission in the country.
