Bosnia's presidency has lost its original copy of the Dayton peace agreement that ended the country's 1992-1995 war, an official said Thursday. The chairman of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, Zeljko Komsic, "discovered yesterday that the original copy of the Dayton peace agreement is missing from the archives of the presidency," his spokeswoman Irena Kljajic told AFP.
Investigators had been called to look into disappearance of the document, she added. The breakthrough peace agreement was reached at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio in November 1995. It was formally signed on December 14, 1995 by the late presidents of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia - Alija Izetbegovic, Franjo Tudjman and Slobodan Milosevic - who each got their own copy.
