@Bosnia and Herzegovina
----------------------

On 21 November 1995, in Dayton, Ohio, the former Yugoslavia's three
warring parties signed a peace agreement that brought to a halt over
three years of interethnic civil strife in Bosnia and Herzegovina
(the final agreement was signed in Paris on 14 December 1995). The
Dayton Agreement, signed by Bosnian President IZETBEGOVIC, Croatian
President TUDJMAN, and Serbian President MILOSEVIC, divides Bosnia
and Herzegovina roughly equally between the Muslim/Croat Federation
and the Bosnian Serbs while maintaining Bosnia's currently
recognized borders. An international peacekeeping force (IFOR) of
60,000 troops began to enter Bosnia in late 1995 to implement and
monitor the military aspects of the agreement and is scheduled to
depart the country within one year. A High Representative appointed
by the UN Security Council is responsible for civilian
implementation of the accord, including monitoring implementation,
facilitating any difficulties arising in connection with civilian
implementation, and coordinating activities of the civilian
organizations and agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnian
conflict began in the spring of 1992 when the Government of Bosnia
and Herzegovina held a referendum on independence and the Bosnian
Serbs - supported by neighboring Serbia - responded with armed
resistance aimed at partitioning the republic along ethnic lines and
joining Serb-held areas to form a "greater Serbia." In March 1994,
Bosnia's Muslims and Croats reduced the number of warring factions
from three to two by signing an agreement in Washington creating
their joint Muslim/Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
