Summary/Abstract: The General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina was signed by the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) on 14 December 1995 in Paris (previously 21 November of the same year the Agreement was initialed in Dayton (USA), and it is known in colloquial use as the Dayton peace agreement. The peace agreement was witnessed and signed by the International Community, namely: the European Union, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Russian Federation and the United States. The subject of this short study is to analyze the relations of the International Community towards Bosnia and Herzegovina as an internationally recognized state, a member of the UN, all this in terms of a mutual responsibility in the implementation of the Agreement. Starting from the fact that the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina operates under Annex IV (Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina) within the framework of the Dayton Peace Agreement, this analysis points to some specific conditions, cause-effect relationships of functioning of the state, as well as to objective justification to keep the OHR in jurisdictions that it has under the Peace Agreement.
