Brussels, 26/09/2003 (Agence Europe) - According to AFP, quoting a spokesperson to Paddy Ashdown, the EU's special representative to Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH), the Muslim, Croatian and Serbian leaders of BH apparently reached agreement on Thursday on the country's military reform. Under the terms of this agreement, the armies of the two Republics that make up the country (Croato-Muslim Federation and Republika Srpska) will have a unified command and an identical flag, whilst remaining ethnically distinct. This agreement is part of the military reform the country must undertaken to be able to accede to NATO's Partnership for Peace and which has been impossible until now due to the disagreements between the leaders of the country's three communities. The agreement will help to mollify Paddy Ashdown and Javier Solana, High Representative of the EU for CFSP, who had both expressed concern on the slowness of reforms in the country in general, and in the military sector in particular (EUROPE of 25 September, p.7).
