Talks were also on the knowledge transfer from the CAF participation in peacekeeping missions, which is important for BiH, since BiH MOD plans to send its troops to the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. <br \/> Also, there was discussion about cooperation in military training whereby it was agreed that this cooperation in the coming period would intensify. At this point a total of 18 NCOs and officers from countries in the region, 10 of them from Bosnia and Herzegovina, have been on military education in Croatia. <br \/> Armed Forces of BiH currently have 10 000 professional soldiers, 1000 civilian and 5000 reservists, where Bosnians have been represented with approximately 46 percent, Serbs 33 percent and Croats with slightly less than 20 percent.<\/p>\n[nggallery id=177]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defence Minister Branko Vukelic met on Friday, April 23, in Sarajevo, the Minister of Defence of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Selmo Cikotic.
