Bosnia and Herzegovina: Armed Forces

Question for Ministry of Defence

UIN HL9606, tabled on 24 July 2023

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with international partners in respect of the possibility of deploying UK military personnel to support (1) EUFOR’s Operation Althea, or (2) NATO headquarters in Sarajevo.

Answered on

7 August 2023

The UK Government regularly discusses maintaining stability in the Western Balkans with our NATO Allies and European partners. The UK provides support for EUFOR ALTHEA through NATO (the operation is carried out with recourse to NATO assets and capabilities) and coordinated bilateral exercising. The UK will support the renewal of EUFOR's UN Security Council mandate, due by November.

The UK already has military personnel deployed to NATO's headquarters in Sarajevo.
