The fourth soldier, Ivan Zapadlo, died in July after an artillery grenade exploded at the Czech army's base in the region. An investigation has shown that the three men had committed a severe breach of duty and had damaged the grenade prior to its explosion. They also apparently breached safety protocols and have been charged with disobeying orders, using weapons without permission and causing grievous bodily harm. On a related note, the last Czech forces serving in SFOR completed their tour of duty on Wednesday. Due to the financial burden of having several different units in the Balkans, the Czech government has decided to remove its troops from Bosnia Herzegovina and instead strengthen its presence in KFOR, where there is a joint Czech-Slovak unit. The commander of the SFOR peacekeeping mission, Patrick Hillier, paid tribute to the Czechs, describing them as professionals with a good sense of humor.
