Wald, who has been serving as EUCOM deputy commander since December 2002, "used the visit to encourage political and military support for the defence reform process, and stress the importance of concluding a Security Co-operation Agreement, which is critical for continued progress in building our bilateral military to military ties," according to the US embassy's statement.
Vold, koji je od decembra 2002. godine zamenik komandanta EUKOM-a, «iskoristio je posetu da podstakne političku i vojnu podršku procesu reforme odbrane i naglasi značaj zaključivanja Sporazuma o bezbednosnoj saradnji, koji je od kritičnog značaja za dalji napredak u našim bilateralnim vojnim odnosima», precizira se u saopštenju američke ambasade.
