Inauguration of Milici Water Project
03/16/2007
Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina Douglas McElhaney, Major General William D. Catto, Chief of Staff, United States European Command, and the Mayor of Milici municipality inaugurated a project through which a total of 6,700 meters of main water distribution pipeline was replaced in Milici municipality. The Office of Defense Cooperation, United States European Command, financed this project, which demonstrates the continuing good will of the American people towards Bosnia and Herzegovina and serves as an example of what a professional military is capable of accomplishing. It also demonstrates that BiH has progressed from the point of needing a huge US military peace keeping presence in country, and that a new form of bilateral cooperation has emerged between the two countries.
