In line with its policy of active support to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, together with Great Britain and the Netherlands, became a leading country in NATO's project aimed at reintegration of personnel from the defence system into a civil society," the minister said.
The project was approved in Brussels on June 15.
Grabar Kitarovic said Croatia was the first candidate country which NATO entrusted a leading role in one of its projects which, according to her, is a clear signal that Croatia is observed a a future member which is ready to contribute to the international and regional security.
The Croatian government will donate EUR100,000 to the fund for Bosnia-Herzegovina which will help some 6,000 members of the defence system to reintegrate into civil society. The implementation of the project, worth some 8 million euros, will last three years.
