Recently Bosnia donated more than 550 tons of surplus arms and ammunition to Iraq as part of its involvement in the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State militants. The donation was made on request from the United States and comprises arms and ammunition produced decades ago, when Bosnia was part of the now-defunct Yugoslav federation. Bosnia is not in the NATO alliance but hopes to join. On Monday and Tuesday of this week (8 & 9 June) the special Envoy of President Obama for the Global Coalition against the Islamic State, General John Allen, held meetings with the members of the Presidency of Bosnia.  Allen also attended a separate Forum on security in Bosnia before going on to Zagreb, where he met with Croatian political and security officials.
