Deeply saddened by today's crash of an 🇮🇹 Army CH-47 helicopter engaged in the EU operation ALTHEA @euforbih near Brčko, Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦. On behalf of the NATO Military Committee and myself, our thoughts are with the crew and everyone on board, with their families living hours of anguish, and with their comrades, awaiting for more news. I have sent a message to General Luciano Portolano to express our closeness to him and to the Italian Armed Forces at this painful time. These men and women serve peace and stability in a region to which Allies and partners have committed decades of effort. As an Italian, I feel this tragedy all the more deeply. ***** Profondo dolore per l'incidente di oggi all'elicottero CH-47 dell'Esercito Italiano 🇮🇹, impegnato nell'operazione UE ALTHEA @euforbih , precipitato vicino a Brčko, in Bosnia-Erzegovina 🇧🇦. A nome mio e del Comitato Militare della NATO, il nostro pensiero va all'equipaggio e a tutti coloro che erano a bordo, alle loro famiglie che vivono ore di angoscia e ai loro compagni, in attesa di ulteriori notizie. Ho inviato un messaggio al Generale Luciano Portolano per esprimere la nostra vicinanza a lui e alle Forze Armate italiane in questo momento difficile. Questi uomini e queste donne servono la pace e la stabilità in una regione alla quale Alleati e partner hanno dedicato decenni di impegno. Da italiano, sento questo dolore ancora più vicino, perché tocca dei connazionali.
