The Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the event in preparation for the 20th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords.  Congressman Turner has worked closely with the Ambassador on a number of initiatives to include advancing Bosnia-Herzegovina’s status within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

“Representing Dayton, Ohio has allowed for me to continue to foster the important relationship Dayton and the country has with Bosnia-Herzegovina. Ambassador Negodic and I have worked together on a number of important projects. Today’s forum helped to set the stage for the 20th Anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords and allow us all to reflect on their importance. I look forward to working with Ambassador Negodic and maintaining our strong partnership.”

The important relationship our country has with Dayton is one that we hold in high esteem. As the 20th Anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords nears, it is important to remember how far we have come as a country. I appreciate the partnership we have with the city of Dayton and Congressman Turner and I look forward to what we can accomplish in the future.”
