SARAJEVO, (Patria) - The Minister of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Selmo Cikotić, today received the Commander of the NATO Headquarters in Sarajevo, Brigadier General Eric Folkestad, whom he informed that the BiH Ministry of Security pays special attention in its work to the implementation of obligations undertaken from the Reform Program adopted by BiH.

Cikotić emphasized the importance of implementing these obligations in order to strengthen institutions and increase security in BiH, but also BiH's progress on the path to Euro-Atlantic integration.

The importance of continuing cooperation and implementing joint projects of the BiH Ministry of Security and the NATO Headquarters in Sarajevo was highlighted. Previous joint exercises have proven very useful, especially in strengthening the readiness of civil protection structures to respond to natural and other disasters.

During his visit to the BiH Ministry of Security, Brigadier General Folkestad also visited the BiH 112 Operational-Communication Center, which plays a key role in coordinating assistance to affected areas and rescuing endangered persons in the event of disasters.
