Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the estimate of the present strength of Muslim armed forces in Bosnia. [HL1798]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

According to the Federation authorities, the current strength of the regular forces in the Federation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is 33,000 personnel, of whom 23,000 are Bosniacs (Bosnian Muslims). This figure does not include reserve forces, for which there are no published figures.
