Although we are present in a historic moment, the first EAPC-Meeting in Defence Ministers Session, we should not overlook the risk of actual situations in Europe.
The alliance has changed dramatically in the past 5 years and has become the basic element of the future European security architecture.

Engagement with non NATO-nations in former Yugoslavia certainly was a decisive step.

Estimating the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina I see three military options:

Remain with the same size of force as now

Total withdrawal of the troops and remaining with observers and a rapid reaction force outside the mission area

Reduction of the actual force strength.
But even more important are political options and there I also see three possibilities:

The three ethnic groups will stay together in the country

The country will fall apart - peacefully

The country will fall apart - due to a crisis
As possible military options always are a consequence on the political goal everything should be undertaken to achieve a successful political and economy progress in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

This will include a certain military presence necessary to ensure the stability within the country and the region.
