“The EU is boosting the size of its peacekeeping mission in Bosnia after recently convicted Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik banned state-level institutions in Serb regions, sparking separatist fears. The EU ‘will temporarily increase the size of its force,’ the European Union Force Bosnia Herzegovina, or EUFOR, said in a statement late Friday. ‘This is a proactive measure aimed at assisting Bosnia and Herzegovina in the interest of all citizens,’ it said. EUFOR said the increase will occur “in the coming days” but gave no details. Local media reports say the EU will add 400 troops to its 1,100-strong force next week. Operation Althea, as the Bosnia mission is called, ensures the implementation of the peace agreement signed following the 1992-1995 war in the country. Dodik, the head of the Serb-majority region, was convicted of defying that agreement in late February.” (03/08/25)
