Dayton Agreement (21 Nov. 1995) A peace deal brokered by US President
Clinton and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, between the Presidents of
Bosnia (Izetbegovic), Yugoslavia (
Milošević), and
Croatia (
Tudjman), after six days of intense negotiations in Dayton (Ohio). It provided for a nominally united Bosnian state, which was effectively divided between a decentralized Bosnian-Croat Federation and a centralized Serb Republic. In order to ensure the stability of the peace, to supervise the relationship between the former enemies, and to encourage their cooperation, under US leadership
NATO committed 60,000 troops, under the auspices of the
UN. The agreement did restore a fragile peace, but also had significant shortcomings; for example, Bosnians living in areas that would be under Serb control burnt their homes rather than leave them to the former enemy, and vice versa. The agreement itself was nothing new and had been under discussion for two years. That it took the active involvement of the USA to implement it demonstrated the continued US predominance in world politics, unrivalled even by the combined efforts of the European Union.
