UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 31, 2026 — The UN Security Council on Friday unanimously adopted resolution 2834 (2026), renewing for 12 months the authorization of the European Union-led stabilization force in Bosnia and Herzegovina, known as EUFOR-Althea, the UN said.
The force helps carry out the military side of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the 1992-1995 war.
The meeting followed Bosnia's Oct. 4 general elections and a Sept. 7 state funeral in Belgrade for Ratko Mladić, the former Bosnian Serb army commander serving a life sentence for genocide and crimes against humanity, according to the UN's meeting coverage.
"Reconciliation remains essential," said the representative of the United Kingdom, which drafted the resolution. "The EU condemns any glorification of war criminals, genocide denial and revisionism," said Stavros Lambrinidis, head of the EU delegation to the UN.
Denis Bećirović, chairman of Bosnia and Herzegovina's presidency, told the council that "the results achieved over decades of implementing the Dayton Peace Agreement are now under threat." Serbia's Radomir Ilić warned that "externally imposed arrangements" would prove unsustainable, the UN summary says.
