SARAJEVO, Feb 2 (Hina) - The commander of the European Union Force
(EUFOR) in Bosnia-Herzegovina, General Gian Marco Chiarini, said on Thursday
that ten years after the war the country was still swamped by illegal weapons
and dangerous ammunition which posed a threat to general security.
Speaking at his first news conference since he took up office last December,
Chiarini said that numerous seizures of illegal weapons and ammunition in the
past two months proved that this was still a major problem in
Bosnia-Herzegovina.
In an operation carried out in mid-January, EUFOR troops discovered as
much as three tonnes of weapons and ammunition in an illegal bunker in Bosanska
Dubica, in the Serb entity, Chiarini said.
