Parliament’s resolution concerns the ‘first European military mission on a relatively large scale’, with approximately 7000 military personnel.
Others add that this is ‘above all’ a matter of handing over command from NATO to EU ‘without major changes to the composition of troops on the ground’.
It has been written that this ‘mission’ will step up the ‘preparation for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s eventual accession to the EU’.
Lastly, among many other points too numerous to list here, Parliament regrets that the approximately EUR 71 million, officially earmarked as the cost of the ‘mission’, are not covered by the Community Budget.
We say that this is about giving continuity to NATO’s military occupation of this Balkan country now through its European pillar, the ‘EU’, as part of a process of accelerated ‘transatlantic’ militarisation.
To paraphrase Greek mythology, as the current warlords – those responsible for the terrible effects of war – have cynically done, one might say that ‘Mars’, the god of war, with more pressing concerns such as the war on the Iraqi people on his mind, gave his wife, ‘Althea’, the task of looking after Bosnia and Herzegovina, but always under his ‘protective’ military wing.
The ones who lose out are the people and peace."@en1
