Bosnia sending troops to Afghanistan

The Bosnian army unit will be deployed in October in Helmand province in southern of Afghanistan and will guard the Danish contingent's military base.

Sending troops to Afghanistan was one of the conditions NATO had placed on Bosnia's application to join the alliance's Membership Action Plan (MAP).
