The handover event was attended by high-ranking officials, including EU Ambassador and Special Representative to Bosnia and Herzegovina Luigi Soreca, the Operational Commander of Operation Althea, Lieutenant General Hubert Cottereau, as well as numerous domestic and international dignitaries.

In his address, Sticz emphasized EUFOR's visible role in Bosnia and Herzegovina, expressing hope that the mission had succeeded in building trust and understanding among the local population while effectively supporting authorities in maintaining a safe and stable environment.

“My goal was to present EUFOR as a reliable and impartial partner to the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, capable of addressing all potential scenarios and deterring, or if necessary, defending against any threats to stability,” Sticz stated.

He highlighted key objectives during his tenure, including strengthening cooperation between EUFOR and the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, assisting local communities during natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and heavy snowfalls, and participating in search-and-rescue missions.

Sticz also noted close collaboration with the international community in Bosnia, particularly with the EU Special Representative and the High Representative, whose political guidance is essential to EUFOR's mission.

To gain firsthand insight, Sticz prioritized spending time in the field with EUFOR troops, engaging with local authorities ranging from the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina to municipal leaders.

Additionally, Sticz underlined EUFOR's efforts to engage with the younger generation, organizing events aimed at inspiring the youth, who represent the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“I hope EUFOR's actions have sent a positive message to the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I see this country progressing closer to the European Union in the future,” he concluded.
