Za namene tega sporazuma imajo navedeni izrazi naslednji pomen: – ”operacija” pomeni podporo, izvajanje in pripravo Nata za mirovni načrt v Bosni in Hercegovini ali možen umik sil ZN iz Republike Bosne in Hercegovine in Republike Hrvaške in sodelovanje njegovega osebja pri tem; – ”osebje Nata” pomeni civilno in vojaško osebje Organizacije Severnoatlantskega pakta z izjemo lokalno najetega osebja; – ”Nato” pomeni Organizacijo Severnoatlantskega pakta, njena pomožna telesa, vojaške štabe in vse njene sestavne državne dele/enote, ki delujejo v podporo, izvajanje in pripravo operacije ter v njej sodelujejo. 2. Vlada Republike Slovenije dovoli prost prehod čez ozemlje Republike Slovenije, vključno s slovenskim zračnim prostorom in teritorialnimi vodami, in sicer po kopnem, železnici, cestah, vodnih poteh ali zraku, za vse osebje in tovor, opremo, blago, vključno s strelivom, ki jih Nato potrebuje za izvajanje operacije. 3. Vlada Republike Slovenije po najnižjih stroških priskrbi ali pomaga priskrbeti tako infrastrukturo ali storitve, ki so potrebne za tranzit. 4. (i) Carinski nadzor blaga, ki ga Nato prevaža v tranzitu čez slovensko carinsko območje po tem sporazumu, se izvaja na podlagi predložitve blaga pri vstopnem in izstopnem carinskem organu ter predložitve tranzitne carinske deklaracije v skladu s slovenskimi carinskimi predpisi ali dokumenta NATO obrazec 302 ali popisa blaga, ki ga vsebuje poprejšnja najava tranzita iz 4 (iii) točke tega dogovora. (ii) Organi Republike Slovenije z vsemi primernimi sredstvi olajšajo vse premike osebja, vozil in/ali dobav skozi pristanišča, letališča ali po cestah. Za vozila, ladje in letala v tranzitu se ne zahteva izdajanje dovoljenj ali registriranje niti komercialno zavarovanje. Natu je dovoljeno uporabljati letališča, ceste in pristanišča brez plačevanja taks, pristojbin, cestnin ali drugih dajatev. Nato pa ne uveljavlja oprostitve razumnih plačil za storitve, ki jih zahteva in prejme, vendar tranzita ne smejo ovirati nedokončana pogajanja o plačilu takih storitev. Oprema se prevaža v posebnih zabojnikih v skladu z mednarodnimi konvencijami o prevozu eksplozivnih in drugih nevarnih snovi. (iii) Nato bo posredoval organom Republike Slovenije vnaprejšnjo najavo vsakega tranzita, ki bo vključevala podatek o mejnem prehodu vstopa, številu vozil v konvoju, enotah, ki tranzitirajo in osnovne splošne podatke o blagu (npr. potrošno blago, oblačila, oprema).

Natu je dovoljeno na vseh Natovih uniformah, prevoznih sredstvih ali objektih in napravah imeti vidno nameščeno zastavo Nata in/ali državne zastave svojih sestavnih enot. 6. Natu je dovoljeno uporabljati svoje lastne telekomunikacijske službe. V to sta vključeni pravica do uporabe sredstev in storitev, potrebnih za zagotavljanje popolne zmožnosti komuniciranja, in pravica do brezplačne uporabe dogovorjenega elektromagnetnega spektra v ta namen. Pogoje uporabe telekomunikacijskih sredstev bo poveljstvo Nata uskladilo s pristojnimi slovenskimi organi. Uporaba teh sredstev ne bo kakor koli škodovala ali prizadela obstoječih nacionalnih sistemov zvez. 7. Če spori v zvezi z razlago in uporabo tega sporazuma niso rešeni, se rešujejo med Republiko Slovenijo in predstavniki Nata po diplomatski poti. 8. O podrobnostih tranzita se lahko sklenejo dopolnilni dogovori, pri čemer se upošteva tudi nadaljnji razvoj tranzita. 9. Vlada Republike Slovenije odobri za tranzit držav, ki niso članice Nata, in za njihovo osebje, ki sodeluje v operaciji, enake privilegije in imunitete, kot jih po tem sporazumu priznava državam članicam Nata in njihovemu osebju. 10. Za operacijo se uporabljajo določbe PFP SOFA, razen če je drugače določeno v tem sporazumu. 11. Ta sporazum začne veljati z dnem, ko se pogodbenici medsebojno obvestita, da so izpolnjeni njuni postopki, potrebni za začetek njegove veljavnosti, začasno pa se uporablja z dnem podpisa. 12. Sporazum ostane v veljavi do konca operacije, vsaka od pogodbenic pa ga lahko kadar koli odpove z odpovednim rokom 30 dni.
