"Regional force" to deal with natural disasters proposed

"First and foremost, all members of the armed forces are keen on the idea, and I am confident that the governments of all regional countries feel the same," Diković told the Fena news agency.

Such joint efforts contribute to expedited preventive action and more efficient disaster prevention, as well as to better mutual understanding and strengthening of overall ties, he said.

Diković said that he believes that the idea will materialise and that the members of the regional force will hold joint exercises at least once a year.

"During the floods that hit Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, the armed forces of both countries were among the first to respond by providing assistance - which is normal, because the police and the military are the most organised - but civil defence resources need to be engaged as well," he said.

Appropriate funds and equipment must be ensured in order to respond to natural or other disasters, he said.

"When it comes to saving human lives, property or assets, all borders and obstacles to joint action must be removed," Diković said.
