BOSNIA CAMPAIGN MEDAL

That this House notes that British troops have been deployed in Bosnia since 1992 and played a vital part in the multinational forces, the Implementation Force and the Stabilisation Force; further notes that British troops have remained in Bosnia as a key member of the European Union Force since it took over in December 2004; honours the tough and complex peacekeeping role that British troops have performed alongside French, Italian, Dutch and German colleagues; is concerned that, unlike their European counterparts, British troops serving in Bosnia and Herzegovina receive no campaign medal for their service; and calls on the Ministry of Defence to grant unrestricted acceptance and wear of the European Security and Defence Policy Service Medal so that the hard peace-keeping work of British troops in a difficult and often forgotten theatre of operation can be properly recognised.
