Danish soldiers to end peacekeeping mission in Bosnia

SARAJEVO (AFP) Jul 07, 2003
Danish troops serving with NATO-led peacekeepers in Bosnia are to complete their seven-year-long mission in the country by the end of the month, an official said Monday.

"The Danish contingent will be leaving Bosnia within the next few weeks," James Billings, spokesman for NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR), told AFP.

Denmark currently has some 150 soldiers serving in northern Bosnia, as part of the 12,000-strong SFOR that has been deployed in the country since the 1992-95 war.
