SESSION OF THE COMMISSION FOR DEFENCE AND SECURITY POLICY

SARAJEVO, August 31 (FENA) – The Joint Commission for Defence and Security Policy and Monitoring of Defence and Security Structures at State level on Tuesday considered the Bill on participation of members of the BiH Armed Forces, state officials and other employees in peacekeeping missions and other activities abroad.

The Acting Chair of the Commission, Bosko Siljegovic, told the press that codifying the final proposal of the said law, which will regulate the matters on participation of BiH Armed Forces in peacekeeping missions abroad, has been postponed for seven days. 

- The Commission has suggested the working group, which comprises representatives of BiH Defence and Security Ministries, to prepare the text of the bill that will also include the matter of participation of police officials in peacekeeping operations, explained Siljegovic, expressing hope that this law would be on the daily agenda of the next session of the BiH House of Representatives, scheduled for September 7.

Deputy Chair of the Commission Sefik Dzaferovic said that today’s meeting also included considering the Bill on the State Border Service (DGS) and the Bill on Monitoring and Controlling State Border Crossings, which was proposed by BiH Council of Ministers. 

The adoption of these laws, he said, is a commitment BiH has taken over within the 16 priority conditions for opening the negotiations on Stabilization and Association with the EU.

According to the Commission Deputy Chair, Branko Zrno, the daily agenda of today’s session also included the Report on occupied posts in the BiH Defence Ministry, which currently functions at the level of 28 percent.

Noting that personnel occupancy in this ministry is a precondition for accessing Euro-Atlantic integration, Zrno expressed hope that the situation in this field would be improved in the next month.

In response to a journalist question on the grounds of which law BiH Presidency has issued the Decision on deploying BiH soldiers to Iraq, i.e. whether they can be deployed to this country without passing the said law, officials of the Commission said that BiH Presidency, in accordance with the Law on Defence BiH, is authorized for making such a decision, and that “it would be logical” to issue a relevant law before enforcing it, which would also treat the matters of organizational and technical nature (the matters of withdrawing from the mission, eventual compensations for damages, etc.).
