Representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia are attended by other delegates who attend the NATO Parliamentary Assembly visited the WRIGHT-PATTERSON military base, which was reached 30 years ago on the Dayton Peace Agreement. They visited the hotel and the Richard Holbrooke Hope Conference Center located in the same room in the same room in which 1995 was achieved in peace after 21-day negotiations.
Despite the fact that they were only 13 days to prepare for the arrival of delegations, military engineers have managed to pick up more than 1,200 meters of fence in four days and create a “base within the base” to receive Diplomats and heads. They secured 350 phones, 20 fax machines, 14 photocopier and – which was then a great challenge – 35 mobile phones and 50 computers.
Deputy Director of Construction Engineering 88. Wing Tom Shoup later estimated that the base in less than two weeks would have built an infrastructure that would otherwise require 60 days of work, according to the retrospectives of AFMC on these events.
American Congressmen Mike Turner, former NATO Parliamentary President and the current vice president of her committee for defense and security, said the celebration of peace talks is the highlight of the weekend. Turner in front of 50 gathered delegates at the Hope Hotel said that he tribute to peace, but also to the tasks that were still in front of us.
“From there we will go with a renewed sense of obligation and understanding how to fight authoritarianism, against corruption, how we are building and support democratic institutions,” Turner said, which was the Mayor of Dayton in 1995. years.
Colonel General Linda Hurry, Deputy Commander of the Air Force Material (AFMC), whose headquarters is in the base of Wright-Patterson, said negotiations were “one of the most significant moments in history.”
“Our database and our city responded to the challenge and created an environment for compromise and hope in peace,” Adding that former President Bill Clinton had a vision of peace, and the Wright-Patterson helped to achieve that vision.
Historical Archivist AFMC Ray Ortensie recalled that the initial document guidelines from the American State Department with a dozen pages grew very quickly for fifty.
“We defined what it means to do 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Dayton Daily News Retired Colonel Robbie Robinson, the then commander 88. Wings of the base.
Delegates also planned a visit to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force later on Sunday night, where the performance of the Philharmonic Orchestra from Sarajevo was planned Klix.ba
