The U.S. Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are pleased to announce their joint mission to visit displaced persons, returnees and refugees in Bosansko Grahovo, Drvar, Bosanski Petrovac, Kljuc and Prijedor municipalities on June 15-16. The delegation will include representatives of the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, and will review ongoing cooperative work in Bosnia and Herzegovina between the U.S. government and UNHCR, as well as unmet needs of persons who continue to be displaced some 14 years after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement. Annex VII of the Dayton Peace Agreement continues to serve as the principal framework for the protection of people displaced as a result of the 1992-1995 conflict. Reflecting on the recent visit of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and EU High Representative Javier Solana, the delegation will examine new ways in which joint international cooperation can promote the well-being of displaced populations throughout the region. In particular, the delegation looks forward to reviewing the status and plans for implementation of the Revised Strategy for Implementation of Annex VII. The Strategy was adopted by the Council of Ministers in January 2009 and is now under consideration by the BiH Parliament. We expect adoption after it will be discussed at the House of Peoples on June 18. Since the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, UNHCR has contributed $458 million and the U. S. Department of State has contributed more than $55 million in assistance to refugees and returnees in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The United States Embassy will host a reception at 1400 on 17 June 2009 at Dom Oružanih snaga BiH to honor all Bosnia and Herzegovina alumni of the International Military Education and Training (IMET) program. Ambassador Charles English and Deputy Minister of Defense Marina Pendes will address the IMET alumni. All media are invited to attend this event. We kindly ask you to arrive Dom OS BiH at 13:50. Since 1996, 268 BiH soldiers have attended professional military education courses in the US, at a cost of $11 million. The goal of the program is to train BiH non-commissioned officers and officers on US doctrine, and improve bilateral relations and interoperability between the US and BiH armed forces. The program also gives US military students an opportunity to learn from their BiH colleagues. Some of the courses BiH soldiers have attended include the US Army War College, the Sergeant Major Academy, the Command and General Staff College, English Instructors Course and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Course. These courses contributed to the great success of the BiH EOD unit during 8 deployments to Iraq. In 2009, approximately 25 BiH officers and NCOs will attend courses in the United States. Naida Nakas
