On 20 March 2013, Mr Goran Zubac, the Director of SIPA, and his immediate associates, Mr Anđelko Hrgić and Mr Mirza Lišinović, Assistant Directors, held a meeting with representatives from EUFOR at official premises of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA).

The meeting was held on the occasion of signing the Draft Agreement on Exchange of Classified and Unclassified Data of EUFOR with all police agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with reference to issues that might cause possible threats to the mandate and mission of EUFOR in BH.

After the Draft Agreement was discussed, it was agreed that the consolidated version of the text would be sent to SIPA and other police authorities in BH. The Agreement will be signed after coordination with all the parties involved, which is expected by the end of April this year. It will also contribute to even more successful cooperation with the mission of EUFOR in BH.

Mr Christian Harald Poeckel, Head of the Legal Office of EUFOR, expressed his satisfaction with cooperation with the State Investigation and Protection Agency so far, which was also confirmed by Mr Goran Zubac, the Director of SIPA. The Director Zubac pointed out that the EUFOR mission in BH was of great importance and that SIPA would continue providing required support to EUFOR activities in BH.
