Whether an American mercenary firm continues with the "equip-and-train" programme in Bosnia; and, if so, where does training take place. [HL1799]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean)The Train and Equip programme continues to be run and administered by the private American contractors, Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI). Detailed questions about their activities should be addressed to MPRI themselves, but we understand that the training takes place in a number of military installations throughout the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
