France, through its highest authorities, immediately welcomed the successful outcome of the talks in Dayton under the auspices of the Contact Group, which is a decisive stage in the progress towards peace.

Mrs. Albright
We meet today to respond, on behalf of the international community, to the Peace Agreement initialled yesterday in Dayton, Ohio.

Mr. Cárdenas
I wish at the outset to express my delegation’s satisfaction at the results of the recent peace talks on the crisis in the former Yugoslavia.

The President
I now call on the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, His Excellency Mr. Muhamed Sacirbey.
Mr. Sacirbey
This day — the day of the lifting of the arms embargo on Bosnia and Herzegovina — should have come much, much sooner. If it had, peace would also have come earlier — at a lower cost to the international community, its principles and its most prized institutions; at a lower cost to justice and, most important, at a lower cost to the thousands — the millions — of Bosnia’s victimized.
But this is n…
