The presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday greenlighted the deployment of Bosnian troops to the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan.

Following a report by the Bosnian Defence Ministry, the collective presidency decided to send a infantry unit to the ISAF mission in southern Afghanistan, whose task will be to secure ISAF bases.

Technical preparations will be carried out in cooperation with the Danish government which will also provide equipment for the Bosnian troops.

Bosnia has so far sent ten liaison officers to Afghanistan.
