The aircraft arrived from Italy, and moments later, the sky above Mostar filled with paratroopers. Elsewhere across Bosnia and Herzegovina, a different picture was unfolding: helicopters were landing, convoys were crossing the border, forces were arriving by air, land and sea, while EUFOR personnel were training to respond to situations that demand speed, coordination and determination.
EUFOR hosted the Distinguished Visitors Day of Exercise Quick Response 2026 at Mostar Airport, bringing together senior representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the diplomatic community, troop-contributing nations and international partners to observe the capabilities developed and tested throughout EUFOR’s annual multinational exercise.
EUFOR troops continued Exercise Quick Response 2026 on 31 August with coordinated multinational training in Mostar, Drvar and Tuzla, testing the ability of participating forces to deploy rapidly and respond effectively across different locations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
