The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2834 on Friday, extending the EU‑led stabilisation force EUFOR Althea and NATO presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina for an additional 12 months. The resolution authorises UN member states to provide defensive assistance to the forces if requested. This move demonstrates international commitment to upholding the Dayton Peace Agreement.
The UN Security Council on Friday unanimously renewed the EU‑led stabilisation force in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a 12‑month period, starting from the adoption of the resolution.
Adopting Resolution 2834, the 15‑member council re‑authorised EUFOR ALTHEA and the NATO presence, extending both missions for another year. The resolution affirms that these forces exist to uphold the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement that ended the Bosnian War.
Key to the resolution is the provision that allows UN member states to take all necessary measures, upon request, to defend EUFOR ALTHEA or the NATO presence, and to assist them in carrying out their missions.
