Following the successful negotiation of the Dayton Peace Agreement in November 1995, a Peace Implementation Conference was held in London on December 8-9, 1995, to mobilise international support for the Agreement. The meeting resulted in the establishment of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC).
The PIC comprises 55 countries and agencies that support the peace process in many different ways. There is also a fluctuating number of observers.
PIC officials, including US Deputy Secretary of State Rosemary Di Carlo, will also meet with representatives of the most influential political parties in Bosnia so as to assess the balance of forces and discuss the possibility of establishing new coalitions to lead the country over the next four years, the Office of the High Representative said in a statement.
