The signatories of the General Framework for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina (GFAP) are Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Representatives from the UK, USA, France, Germany, Russia and the European Union signed the document as witnesses. The United Kingdom remains committed to supporting BiH's security, democracy and prosperity, underpinned as necessary by constitutional reform. The international community will offer support, but it is essential that the authorities in BiH themselves make reforms based on broad consensus and for the greater good of all citizens. This path forward requires compromise and cooperation from all sides. All BiH citizens must have the right to participate equally in their country's future.
