Law enforcement in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Russian embassy in Sarajevo alleged on Tuesday that the impending arrival of German troops in Bosnia and Herzegovina to bolster the European Union's EUFOR peacekeeping force, also known as Operation Althea, was part of Western attempts to militarily dominate the Balkan country.

Serbian member of the BiH Presidency, Milorad Dodik, pointed out that no body in Bosnia-Herzegovina has given consent to the presence of any military formation, not even the British one.
Therefore, as Dodik said, they do not come to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a legal way.

Ramic spoke English and he became one of several young people who managed to feed their families by working as interpreters for UNPROFOR or other international organisations such as the UN refugee agency, UNHCR.

But while working as an interpreter, he had to witness some traumatic incidents, such as an artillery attack on the village of Konjevic Polje.

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.

At Butmir base, Sarajevo, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva has assured the commanders of the NATO headquarters and of the EU Althea military operation that their mission is of key importance for the stability of Europe and as such it can rely on support from Bulgaria, reported BGNES.

Bulgaria has been taking part in EUFOR's Althea since its start in 2012.

The State Investigation and Protection Agency, SIPA, which is in charge of the fight against terrorism and organized crime in Bosnia, is still conducting operations in Republika Srpska, even though the government of the Serb-dominated entity has halted cooperation with the agency.

The Republika Srpska interior ministry will sign a new cooperation agreement with the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) on Wednesday after strong international criticism of the Serb authorities' decision last week to cut ties and ban the state-level police body from the entity.
