The Current State of Defence Reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

The process of defence reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina has moved towards the implementation of the provisions of the State Defence Law passed last year. Moreover, this extends toivards the standing-up of the. State defence institutions, the functioning of the chain of command with its operational and administrative branches, and the operating capability of a system of command and control headed by the BiH Presidency as civilian commander of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The goal of this process is to ensure that the State is able to exercise its responsibilities and thus its supremacy for defence matters in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
