SARAJEVO (Reuters) - The European Union peacekeeping force (EUFOR) in Bosnia warned the Serbian representative on Bosnia's presidency on Tuesday against saying anything to weaken the country's multi-ethnic armed forces after he made comments widely seen as divisive.

The formation of Bosnia's armed forces (AFBiH), assisted by NATO and EUFOR, has been hailed as the country's biggest achievement since the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, uniting former wartime foes and promoting national stability.
