On 17 September 1997, five members of the OHR -
Senior
Deputy High Representative Gerd Wagner, Charles Morpeth,
Leah
Melnick, Thomas Reinhardt and Juergen Schauf - and
seven members of
UNMIBH lost their lives in a helicopter
crash near Fojnica in central
Bosnia. The OHR officials were
en route to Bugojno to meet with local
authorities to discuss
key issues related to peace implementation. The
UN officials
intended to fly on to Brcko for talks on police reform
matters.
The OHR remembers the victims of this tragic accident
as
committed members of a community striving to ensure that
the
people of Bosnia and Herzegovina can live in peace. It has
felt
a sense of loss ever since and continues to extend its
deepest
sympathy to their relatives and friends. At the first
anniversary
in 1998, a memorial monument was erected near the crash
site. |
