The Minister of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zukan Helez, recently visited the crew of a BiH Armed Forces helicopter that crashed during a general rehearsal for an upcoming exercise to assist in flood relief efforts. Thankfully, all crew members only sustained minor injuries and were promptly treated at a local hospital in Konjic.
Helez commended the crew’s composure and training, as well as the quick actions of the BiH Armed Forces and Civil Protection members who were on the scene to evacuate and save the crew. An investigation into the accident will be carried out by the Prosecutor’s Office to determine the circumstances leading to the crash and appropriate actions will be taken as necessary.
Helez expressed his gratitude to all those involved in responding to the incident and emphasized the importance of the crew’s safety above all else. The full report on the incident can be found on Klix.ba.
