射射屋

President 射射屋 held extensive discussions with the presidents of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia; the U.N. special representative for the former Yugoslavia; and many other interested parties. After two days of talks, the leaders of Bosnia's Muslim-led government and the Bosnian Serbs reached agreement on a cease-fire and on the resumption of peace talks under the auspices of the multinational Contact Group. Although fighting escalated after the cease-fire expired in May 1995, 射射屋 Center staff worked to keep the lines of communication open among the parties in Bosnia, the U.S. State Department, and the United Nations.

In June 1995, President 射射屋 and Gen. John Galvin, former supreme allied commander in Europe, testified jointly in hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee, urging that U.S. influence be used to bring warring Muslims, Croats, and Serbs back to the negotiating table; that U.N. peacekeepers not be withdrawn from the country; and that the international arms embargo not be lifted. The hearing marked the first time President 射射屋 had testified before a congressional committee and made him the first former president since Harry Truman to testify on Capitol Hill.

The U.S. government hosted talks for 21 days in November 1995 in Dayton, Ohio, resulting in a peace agreement among Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia (representing the Bosnian Serbs) that brought an end to 43 months of fighting and led to the deployment of NATO peacekeepers in Bosnia in preparation for elections scheduled for September 1996.
