SARAJEVO, September 17 (FENA) - High Representative Valentin Inzko recalled today the tragic death of twelve OHR and UN officials in a helicopter crash 21 years ago at the Prokoško Lake near Fojnica.

“They died in the service of peace, while working to reconstruct Bosnia and Herzegovina and to secure the lasting stability and reintegration of the country.

They will never be forgotten in our hearts and minds. We pay respect to them today by reiterating the international community’s strong and unequivocal commitment to Bosnia and Herzegovina as a peaceful and sovereign state irreversibly on course for European integration”, said High Representative Valentin Inzko.

The OHR today marked the anniversary of the helicopter crash in which seven staff members of former UNMIBH and five OHR staff members were killed, including deputy high representative at the time, Gerd Wagner.

Apart from Wagner, Leah Melnick, Charles Morpeth, Thomas Reinhardt, Jurgen Schauf, Livio Beccaccio, Andrzej Buler, David Kriskovich, William Nesbitt, Marvin Padgett, Georg Stiebler and Peter Backes were also killed.
