From January 20 to 21, a delegation from the Federal Republic of Germany visited several Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina (AFBiH) locations to assess the progress of infrastructure projects funded by the German government.

The delegation visited the “Tufo Buza” barracks in Visoko, the “Zaim Imamovic” barracks in Pazaric, and the Peace Support Operations Training Centre (PSOTC) in Butmir.

The German delegation included Colonel Marc Abendroth, the German military attaché in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brigadier Hauke Lützen, head of the infrastructure department, Colonel Wolf Freiherr von Lyncker, infrastructure officer, Tarik Ucanbarlic from UNDP, and Colonel Martin Trachsler from EUFOR.

During the visit, the delegation received detailed updates on the status of ongoing infrastructure projects and identified priority needs for future investments.

Representatives from the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of BiH expressed their gratitude to the German government for its sustained support. They highlighted Germany's role as one of the most significant strategic partners for the AFBiH and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the 2024 budget, the German government allocated €6.5 million for infrastructure projects aimed at improving living and working conditions for AFBiH personnel. These projects are being implemented in collaboration with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and executed by local companies, contributing to the local economy.

All reconstruction efforts align with the Ministry of Defense's Infrastructure Works Plan, which was developed by the Infrastructure Projects Team of the Ministry and AFBiH. The plan includes 144 activities across 29 military locations, prioritizing enhanced conditions for both men and women serving in the AFBiH.

The Ministry of Defense emphasized that these initiatives not only improve the infrastructure of the Armed Forces but also strengthen Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ties with Germany, underscoring a shared commitment to stability and progress in the region.
