This visit comes just one month before the decision on the continuation of the engagement of EUFOR forces in BiH, which will be decided at the UN Security Council, where Russia can veto the extension of the EU peace-keeping mission, which would mean that EUFOR has to leave BiH. In that case, NATO forces would replace the EUFOR Althea mission.
