{{Politics of Bosnia and Herzegovina}}
The '''Dayton Agreement''' or '''Dayton Accords''' is the name given to the agreement at Wright-Patterson_Air_Force_Base in Dayton,_Ohio to end the war in the former Yugoslavia that had gone on for the previous three years, in particular the future of Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.
It marked the first occasion when three-dimensional Satellite image technology and Digital Cartography was used to determine and delineate borders in an official Treaty.
The conference took place from November_1 to November_21, 1995. The main participants from the region were Serbian President Slobodan_Milošević, Croatian President Franjo_Tuđman, and Bosnian President Alija_Izetbegović. The peace conference was chaired by American negotiator Richard_Holbrooke with two Co-Chairman in the form of EU Special Representative Carl Bildt and the First Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Igor Ivanov. A key participant in the US delegation was General Wesley_Clark.
The secure site was chosen in a bid to curb the participants' ability to negotiate in the media rather than at the bargaining table. In a far-from-subtle hint of the consequences should agreement not be reached,
early in the talks a dinner for the participants was held in a hangar at the nearby U.S. Air Force Musuem.
After having been initialed in Dayton on November 21, the full and formal agreement was signed in Paris, France on December_14 also by French President Chirac, US President Clinton, UK Prime Minister Major, German Chancellor Kohl and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin.
The present Political_divisions_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina and its structure of government were agreed upon as part the constitution that makes up Annex 4 of the General Framework Agreement concluded at Dayton.
The agreement mandated a wide range of international organizations to monitor, oversee, and implement components of the agreement. The NATO-led IFOR (Implementation Force) was responsible for implementing military aspects of the agreement.
