Date: 29/01/04 JAVIER Solana has paid tribute to Sven Frederiksen, head of the European Union Police Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (EUPM), who died this week aged 56. "I am shocked by the news of the sudden death in Sarajevo of Police Commissioner Sven Frederiksen," the EU high representative for foreign affairs said. "The international policing family has lost one of its most distinguished representatives. "I have lost an outstanding collaborator and a friend. Our thoughts are with his family and his colleagues in EUPM at this tragic time." Frederiksen, a Dane, had led the UN International Police Task Force (IPTF) in Bosnia and Herzegovina before setting up the EU's first police mission from scratch after it took over the IPTF's mandate at the end of 2002. He told European Voice last year that his priorities as EUPM commander were clamping down on the trafficking of women and boosting the morale of national police. He commanded the UN Protection Force police in Croatia in 1992, was its police commissioner in 1994, senior adviser for the Western European Union to Albania in 1997 and UN Police Commissioner in Kosovo in 1999-2000. A devoted family man, he leaves a wife, two grown-up children and four grand-children. |
