UN Security Council Extends EUFOR's Mandate In Bosnia

The UN Security Council has adopted a resolution extending the mandate of the European Union's peacekeeping and security mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina for another year. The resolution was adopted unanimously on November 2 at a Security Council session in New York. Known as EUFOR, the mission made up of about 1,100 soldiers from 20 countries has been deployed in Bosnia since 2004 and its mandate must be renewed every year. This year's mandate was set to expire on November 3. High Representative to Bosnia Christian Schmidt said EUFOR continues to play a vital role in preserving peace and security in Bosnia.
