Personal Representative for the Dayton Peace Accords
To conduct negotiations and help implement Article IV of Annex 1-B of the Dayton Peace Accords, the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office appointes a Personal Representative. 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.
Annex 1-B of Dayton Peace Accords
Annex 1-B of the 1995 General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Dayton Peace Accords) mandates the OSCE to help elaborate and implement three distinct agreements:
Article IV
Article IV provided the framework for negotiations of a sub-regional arms control agreement, which was concluded in Florence on 14 June 1996. It engaged the three parties within Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro.
Article II
Article II of the Dayton Peace Accords provided a framework for negotiations of an agreement on confidence- and security-building measures (CSBMs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Agreement was concluded in Vienna on 26 January 1996.
Article V
Negotiations for an agreement on regional arms control as foreseen in the article V of the Dayton Peace Accords began in early 1999 under the auspices of the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation (FSC).
