German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced on November 16, 2024, that Germany will provide €1 billion in military aid to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aid package will be used to purchase weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment.

Scholz made the announcement during a visit to Sarajevo, where he met with Bosnian leaders. He said that the aid package was a sign of Germany's commitment to Bosnia and Herzegovina's security and stability.

The Bosnian government has welcomed the German aid package. Prime Minister Zoran Tegeltija said that the aid would help Bosnia and Herzegovina to defend itself against any potential threats.

The German aid package is the latest in a series of Western military aid packages to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The United States has also provided military aid to the country, and the United Kingdom has pledged to do so.

The Western military aid to Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sign of the growing concern about the security situation in the country. The Bosnian government is facing a number of challenges, including a separatist movement in the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska and the threat of terrorism.

The Western military aid is intended to help Bosnia and Herzegovina to address these challenges and to maintain its security and stability.
