Romania's Chief of Defence General Daniel Petrescu is attending, Monday to Wednesday in Sarajevo, the 14th edition of the Conference of Balkan chiefs of defence on defence co-operation.

A Turkish colonel was appointed as the deputy commander of NATO's Sarajevo base in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey announced on Jan. 8. 

Following the appointment of army Col. Olcay Denizer, Turkey's National Defense Ministry said in a statement that the country's military fulfilled important duties in Bosnia and Herzegovina and noted Sarajevo's efforts to join NATO.

People who worked for the NATO Stabilisation Force SFOR in Bosnia and its successor, the European Union Force EUFOR, will stage a protest in front of the EUFOR and NATO Headquarters in Butmir near Sarajevo on Friday.

They claim that they were not given the benefits to which they were entitled because they were not classified as employees by NATO or EUFOR.
