Later issue in former Yugoslavia for different missions as UNCRO, UNMOP and UNTAES.

WEU = Western European Union
This is a plate from a Police Observer Mission of the WEU in Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1994)

The Western European Union is is a consultation forum of nine EU countries (Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Spain and Portugal). The nine stars on the plate symbolize these nine countries. Since 1995 Greece is also a member of WEU.

UNHCR = United Nations High Commisioner for Refugees

This plate was used in Ex-Yugoslavia.

UNFICYP = United Nations Peace-Keeping Force in Cyprus.

The first plate was used in the early years of the mission. The plate with UNF is currently in use. The meaning of the plate UNP is possibly an early UN plate for private use of the members of a mission, like it is still in use in the Middle East.
