26 August 2003

NATO SFOR Press Release

SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina - As has occurred in the past, SFOR is in the process of conducting military operations in the Pale area.

These operations which began early this morning and will be performed from time to time, consist of regular presence patrols which fall within the spectrum of SFOR operations. SFOR will conduct these operations throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, wherever it chooses. Earlier today Lieutenant General William E. Ward, the Commander of SFOR, was in the North East of BiH to observe a similar operation with SFOR forces in that region.

These sorts of operations are conducted in order to disrupt the efforts of persons performing activities that impede the progress and development of BiH. SFOR is conducting these operations in the interests of the people of BiH to monitor compliance with the General Framework Agreement for Peace. There is no place for obstructionist activities in this country.

As these are ongoing operations, no further information will be released until their completion when a press release will be issued.
