The Dayton Agreement was the peace settlement that ended the Bosnian War, which had followed the break-up of Yugoslavia. It was negotiated at an air force base near Dayton, Ohio, by the presidents of Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slobodan Milosevic, Franjo Tudjman and Alija Izetbegovic, with American mediation led by Richard Holbrooke. It kept Bosnia and Herzegovina as a single state but divided it into two entities, the Bosniak-Croat Federation and the Republika Srpska, with a weak central government. A NATO-led force was sent to keep the peace, and an international High Representative oversaw civilian implementation. The agreement stopped the fighting, though critics argue that it entrenched ethnic divisions.
