Europe and the Mediterranean 497Status-of-Forces Agreement • December 2nd, 2013
Contract Type FiledDecember 2nd, 2013The status-of-forces agreement with Bosnia and Herzegovina, concluded by an exchange of letters on 15 May 1993, regulated UNPROFOR's presence in that country, although it could not be said that UNPROFOR had been provided free of cost with the various premises it required, as called for by the agreement. Recent government demands that UNPROFOR surrender certain facilities it occupied and pay rent on others were inconsistent with the agreement. The Government had moreover indi- cated its desire to reopen negotiations on certain aspects of the agreement, in particular those relat- ing to the terms and conditions for locally em- ployed staff members. UNPROFOR had expressed its concern to the Government over the increas- ing incidents of taxation of such staff who failed to comply with mobilization orders.
