Both sides emphasized the benefits of mutual assistance between Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in situations of natural disasters, such as the floods that hit Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2014, when members of the Slovenian Army came to help local communities in the recovery, and the engagement of AFBIH resources to help the Slovenian citizens in need, after the devastating floods in summer 2023.
During the visit, President Pric Musar expressed strong support to BiH’s European and Euro-Atlantic integrations processes, as well as to further strengthening of the capacities of the BiH Armed Forces.
