He also said he was very happy about his countrys active participation in the mission. Mr Booms was first given a thorough briefing about the activities of the EUMM, the work of Field Office Mtskheta and details of the upcoming patrol. After the briefing Mr Booms accompanied a patrol in wintry conditions to the Administrative Boundary Line at Odzisi to see the security situation there.
