About Day of the establishment of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH holiday in Bosnia and Herzegovina


The **Day of the Establishment of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH** is a significant holiday in Bosnia and Herzegovina, commemorating the signing of the **Dayton Agreement** on November 21, 1995. This historic agreement marked the end of the Bosnian War (1992–1995), one of the most devastating conflicts in Europe since World War II. The Dayton Agreement established a framework for peace, outlining the political and territorial structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a single state composed of two entities: the **Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina** and the **Republika Srpska**, along with the **Brčko District**. The holiday serves as a reminder of the importance of peace, reconciliation, and unity in a country that endured immense suffering during the war. It is a day for reflection on the progress made since the agreement and the ongoing efforts to build a stable, multi-ethnic society. While the Dayton Agreement brought an end to the violence, it also left a complex political system that continues to shape the country's governance and inter-ethnic relations. On this day, various events, ceremonies, and educational programs are held across Bosnia and Herzegovina to honor the victims of the war, celebrate the resilience of the people, and promote dialogue and cooperation among the diverse communities. The holiday underscores the importance of maintaining peace and working toward a shared future for all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
