UK Minister for the Armed Forces James Heappey met Zukan Helez, the defense chief of Bosnia and Herzegovina in London to discuss defense ties and the current security situation in the Balkan country.

Heappey said the UK is committed to supporting defense reforms and the continued development of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to a statement by the UK Defence Ministry.

“It was a pleasure to welcome Minister Helez to London today following our meeting in Sarajevo in May, building on our combined work to strengthen our bilateral defence relations,” Heappey said in the statement.

“I shared my concerns regarding the developing situation in Bosnia, making clear the UK fully supports the unity and integrity of the Bosnia and Herzegovina state,” he added.
