SARAJEVO, Aug 24 (Hina) - Territorial defence forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina and its two entities are to undergo significant changes and its structure and size will respond to conditions set by Europe and the world, commander of the
Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina military forces Rasim Delic said for Tuesday's edition of the Sarajevo daily "Oslobodenje". In the interview, Delic said that military forces would definitely be reduced seeing the threat of war was not as prevalent. The decrease will reflect peace time military units. Delic stated that the internal structure of the Bosnian Federation army had not been finalised and this was the main reason for the suspension of the "Equip and Train" programme. He added that a structure of command for one army cannot be based on national command chains as is the case now. Delic believes that federal laws on defence should be strictly applied which accommodate a single command
