ONLY QUARTER OF ARMAMENT USED BY BOSNIAN ARMY MEETS NATO STANDARDS

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (March 18,2008) – An assessment by the Bosnian Defence Ministry shows that only a quarter of the armament used by the Bosnian Army complies with the standards of NATO.

At the same time, there is a large quantity of obsolete weaponry which will be either sold, donated or destroyed. Most of the weaponry that meets the required standards is of western origin.

The Bosnian Deputy Defence Minister Igor Crnadak confirmed that the country does not plan the procurement of new fighter airplanes and helicopters soon, due to insufficient funds.
