Local agreement properties

  • Process type

    Unable to establish
  • Rationale

    UNPROFOR reports and testimony submitted to the ICTY, and media reporting suggests that there was a persistent practice of negotiating and signing limited agreements between the War Presidency of the eastern bank of Mostar and the HVO conducted at the Spanish Battalion UNPOFOR headquarters in Medugorje, however, it is unclear how this agreement fits with this practice.
  • Is there a documented link to a national peace process?

    No
  • Link to national process: articulated rationale

    The agreement does not make reference to the national process, and despite there being reported humanitarian evacuations in Moster relating to a national ceasefire at the same time, there is not enough publicly-available information to link this agreement to that process.
