Today, 24 years are made by the signing of the Peace Agreement for Bosnia and Herzegovina, known as the Dayton Agreement.
The agreement was signed at the US military base “Wright Peterson” in Ohio on 21 November 1995.
One of the main principles of this agreement was the division of Bosnia and Herzegovina at 51 percent on the territory of the Federation of BiH and 49 percent in Republika Srpska.
The signatories pledged to regulate bilateral relations under the UN Charter, Helsinki's Final Act and other OSCE documents, as well as mutual respect for sovereignty and resolution of disputes peacefully.
This document enabled the war to end several years of war, where more than 300 thousand BiH citizens had lost their lives, which the war had begun after declaring Bosnia's independence from Yugoslavia.
The aggression was conducted by the Yugoslav Army, led by Serbia, in support of Bosnian Serbs, who were aiming to keep BiH territory under their control.
