On Tuesday, September 10 Maj.-Gen. Dieter Heidecker, the Austrian commander of the mission told the Hungarian journalists staying in the camp that the Hungarians are special not only because of their professional training standards but also because their geographical proximity and historical similarities enable them to have a deeper insight into the local people’s life.
Like Maj.-Gen. Heidecker, US Brig.-Gen. Merle D. Hart, the commander of NATO HQ Sarajevo also praised the Hungarian soldiers’ performance. As he said, Bosnia-Herzegovina is a really safe country, thanks in large part to the Hungarian engagement among others.
During the day the journalists’ group visited the Hungarian embassy in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where Ambassador József Pandur pointed out that the military presence is very important in the development of the country. The local people consider the Hungarians as their honorary neighbours, and apart from the EUFOR mission, the two nations are linked by many diplomatic ties as well.
