Berlin - German Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet approved Wednesday the extension by one year of military deployments off the coast of Somalia and in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The military currently has some 240 personnel engaged in the European Union's anti-piracy mission, Atalanta, off the coast of Somalia.
In Bosnia Herzegovina Germany has deployed 120 soldiers as part of the EU's EUFOR mission, for stabilization duties.
Both extensions must now be voted on by the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament.
On Thursday parliament approved the more controversial military involvement in the Afghanistan conflict, by 455 to 105 votes.
