Vašingtonski sporazum
Washington Agreement

Summary/Abstract: After the European Community-European Union peace plans for Bosnia and Herzegovina had failed, the United States decided to seriously deal with the B-H issue and try to bring the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina to an end, thus insuring a lasting peace. The first successful move made by the Clinton administration was to stop the conflict between the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the HVO, and to prevent the Croatian aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this context, under U.S. patronage lasting from 1 March to 18 March 1994, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was established when the agreements which ended the Croatian aggression on BiH and established Croatian-Bosniak federation were signed. President of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Alija Izetbegovic and Croatian President, Franjo Tudjman, were the Washington Agreement signatories, as well as Silajdžić and Zubak. The Washington Agreement is not an ideal solution, however in the timeframe and circumstances of its negotiating during which the decomposition and disintegration of Bosnia and Herzegovina was active and the directions in which Bosnia and Herzegovina had been taking by previous negotiations, it proved to be a good solution, since it shifted the international negotiations towards preserving the unitary and integral Bosnia and Herzegovina. It served as the first positive move in order to bring Bosnia and Herzegovina to the lasting peace which has been achieved through the Dayton Peace Agreement.
