At a briefing held in late February, Maj.-Gen. Chao Liu, the Force Commander of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) presented certificates of merit to three soldiers of the Hungarian contingent, WO Eszter Szabó, WO Dóra Adamecz and SFC Sándor Nagy, in recognition of their outstanding work.

WO Eszter Szabó has been serving on the staff of the Operational Section (OPS) of the Sector 4 HQ in Famagusta, Cyprus since March 16, 2011. During her tour of duty with the mission, she has become one of the key personalities of the contingent. The warrant officer – who is able to deal with unexpected situations quickly, firmly and quite autonomously – plans and organizes the helicopter flights of the Sector and the training and mentoring of the landing control staff on a high level of proficiency. Due to her good organizing skills and drive for action, she can make important contributions to successful task execution.

WO Dóra Adamecz serves on the staff of the UNFICYP Force Military Police Unit (FMPU). Her conduct, adaptability and the techniques she uses in carrying out military police duties all give satisfaction to the leaders of the mission. WO Adamecz have successfully participated in two military skills competitions and several sport contests as well.

WO Sándor Nagy has been serving in Cyprus since March 2011. During the first six months of his tour of duty, he was posted to Patrol Base 91 as deputy squad leader, while he filled the squad leader position for the next sixth months. He played a leading role in building up team spirit within the squad. As squad leader, he is a key member of the subunit, his colleagues can always count on his assistance in tackling the emerging problems. As a result, Patrol Base 91 operates as a cohesive subunit which performs its duties by high professional standards.
