Germany's armed forces are to continue their deployment in Bosnia-Herzegovina as part of an international mission, lawmakers agreed on Thursday.
The Bundestag, as Germany's parliament is known, extended the mandate for the EU mission Eufor Althea by a large majority.
Up to 50 German soldiers are to ensure compliance with the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the Bosnian war in 1995. The Balkan state is still considered a potential centre of conflict, however.
Later, the Bundestag is to extend two further Bundeswehr missions abroad, in Kosovo and in Lebanon.
The NATO mission KFOR in Kosovo is continue to have up to 400 German soldiers who are there to protect peace and public order in Kosovo, which has seen renewed tensions with Serbia recently.
Lawmakers are also set to agree on keeping 300 soldiers as part of UN mission UNIFIL, to prevent the smuggling of weapons into Lebanon.
