The Ambassadors of thePIC Steering Board, meeting in
Sarajevo today, issued a statement
emphasizing the central importance of upholding democratic principles in the
political oversight and command of the BiH armed forces. The Steering Board
Ambassadors do not agree with any attempt to politicize the command and control
of the armed forces.
The Armed Forces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina
,
unified and under democratic control, represent this country's steady and
significant progress towards the norms of a modern European state.
Recent criticism of the Chief of the BiH Joint Staff LT
GEN Sifet Podzic for activities undertaken as
part of the legitimate performance of his duties as the commander of BiH's
unified armed forces are improper, and not the way to establish EU and NATO
standards in the armed forces.
