While the task for most I-FOR troops in Bosnia has just begun, there are others who've almost finished their work there.
APTV has been with a unit of Indonesian peacekeepers as they wind up their Bosnian mission.
These Indonesian soldiers arrived on August 15th last year and have been building facilities for international peacekeepers, including forces in Sarajevo.
They worked on the Mount Igman road, and on facilities for French I-FOR forces in Mostar.
