SFOR NOT PART OF NATO EXERCISE IN ALBANIA & MACEDONIA - STATEMENT

( Editorial: --> 1264 ) SARAJEVO, June 15 (Hina) - The NATO air force military exercise over Albania and Macedonia which began in the morning is not connected with the peace mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina and does not use aircraft supporting the NATO-led Stabilisation Force in Bosnia, the SFOR command said Monday. The SFOR is supportive of NATO's resolution to promote peace and stability in the Balkans, but the "Determined Falcon" exercise does not include the SFOR in Bosnia whose mandate remains the same, said an SFOR statement delivered to Hina.
