On Monday, 22 May 2017, representatives from EUFOR visited the Faculty of Criminology in Sarajevo to brief students on the EUFOR mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly focusing on EUFOR Liaison and Observation Teams (LOT) deployed throughout BiH in 17 LOT Houses that serve as the ‘eyes and ears‘ of the Commander EUFOR on the ground maintaining a safe and secure environment within the country.
Upon graduation, the students of criminology studies will mostly seek employment with security agencies, so this class was the opportunity to learn first-hand more about the concept of EUFOR LOT teams and also about the co-operation between EUFOR and security agencies in BiH, the local authorities and the population as a whole.
The students expressed their satisfaction with this opportunity to obtain more information, which had previously been available only from the media. An open question and answer session enabled the students to also learn more about the EUFOR mission.
