Mayor of Kalesija Sead Džafić received representatives of the Civil-Military Cooperation Support Team at the US Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina and members of the CIMIC team of the B&H Armed Forces, and the topic of discussion was joint military exercises of the Armed Forces of B&H and the United States of America near the Municipality of Kalesija.

As it was said at the meeting, in mid-May, a military exercise will be held at the Dubrava Military Base with the participation of about 200 soldiers from the USA and soldiers from the B&H Armed Forces, while about 600 soldiers will perform the same exercise at two more locations in B&H. With this exercise, Bosnia and Herzegovina is improving its partnership with US and NATO partners and will continue to develop interoperability and operations capabilities.

-I am glad that the US policy is still in favor of our country and this exercise is a proof that they are still present on our soil and that the exercise will further contribute to the security and stability of B&H. Their knowledge, which they will transfer to the Armed Forces of B&H in these exercises, is something we should appreciate and respect- said municipal mayor Džafić.

It was also reiterated at the meeting that the United States will continue to assist B&H in achieving the goal of joining the Euro-Atlantic community and providing support to the B&H Armed Forces in responding to the crisis and other assistance.
