Representatives for Dayton Peace Accords

To conduct negotiations and help implement the Articles II, IV and V of Annex 1-B of the Dayton Peace Accords, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office appointed two Personal Representatives. The OSCE efforts to elaborate and implement these agreements represent a significant contribution to the overall efforts to promote peace and stability in South-Eastern Europe.
