Bosnia and Herzegovina (Hansard, 3 February 1999)

HC Deb 03 February 1999 vol 324 c653W 653W

§ Mr. Key
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what has been the total cost of the SFOR de-mining programme in Bosnia and Herzegovina. [68252]

§ Mr. George Robertson
SFOR does not have a "de-mining programme" and does not undertake de-mining in Bosnia and Herzegovina other than in support of its own operations. Under the General Framework Agreement for Peace (the Dayton Accords) the responsibility for mine clearance lies with the Entity Armed Forces. SFOR's involvement is limited to monitoring their progress and to the provision of mine awareness training.
