Context
The question stems from the UK's withdrawal from Operation Althea in 2020, a mission of maintaining peace and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
What assessment has been made of the effectiveness of the UK’s contribution to the European Union Force Bosnia and Herzegovina? The Conservative Government previously withdrew from EUFOR peacekeeping force—Operation Althea—in 2020. Will the Minister consider recommitting British troops to Operation Althea, as other third countries have done?
We regularly engage with EUFOR and the EU delegation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Indeed, I co-convened a call with Quint members and EU institutions on Friday with my French counterpart, and we are working closely on these very serious matters. We are also supporting security in Bosnia through our bilateral contributions, including our staff officers in the NATO HQ in Sarajevo.
