The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains critical. Floods and massive landslides have catastrophic consequences particularly in the country's northern region. Tens of thousands of civilians have been forced to leave their homes. Many roads and bridges have been destroyed, many households are without water and electricity supplies, but the biggest threat is posed by displacement of mines from the minefields.
In response to the situation, EUFOR ALTHEA units earmarked forces and resources to assist civilians. SLOVCON members have provided help in transporting humanitarian aid from the Red Cross, escorting convoys with humanitarian aid to the most affected regions and distributing information materials warning citizens of the mine threat. Lt Col René Ház, EUFOR ALTHEA SLOVCON Commander, thanked all those involved and expressed satisfaction with the performance of the SVK liaison teams' tasks in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
