Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, honourable guests, for coming to our committee.
In 2004, I was in your country for a year, and I have noticed great progress since the war and after the implementation of the Dayton accords. Most of the army was at the forefront of the entire reconciliation in your country between various ethnic groups.
In 2009 you applied to NATO's membership action plan, MAP, and in April 2010, at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Tallinn, Estonia, you were officially invited into MAP, which is the next step to integration in NATO. However, I would like you to clarify a couple of things.
NATO members have three major concerns. The first issue is that in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are still 23,000 tonnes of high risk, unsafe, and unstable surplus ammunition and weapons. Some of it is hidden and needs to be destroyed. The second issue is the lack of political support for the proposals of the military leadership on defence review, defining the long-term plan for the development of the armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina by 2020. The third issue is the technical and political challenges related to the precise technical description of the inter-entity boundary line.
So can you elaborate not only on the defence property issue, but also on these three points I expressed?
