After the meeting, Perry said that the Sector South-East had
to be the most critical area in the whole of Bosnia, but also the
most successful in IFOR's mission.
The importance of the Sector had been most evident in the way
the troops had provided security for the elections in Mostar, Perry
said.
He added that he had congratulated de Lambert for a job well
done.
He had been interested in de Lambert's assessment of the
situation in the area, Perry said.
