Bosnia stamp year 2005 Dayton imperforated MNH

The peace agreement, which ended the Bosnian War, was initialed in Dayton, Ohio, in November 1995 and formally signed in Paris in December 1995.

Here are the specific details regarding the 2005 stamp issue:

• Issuing Authority: The stamp was issued by one of the three postal operators in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The search results specifically mention the issue from the Serbian Administration (Pošte Srpske / Republika Srpska postal administration).
• Year of Issue: 2005.
• Theme: 10th Anniversary of the Dayton Peace Agreement (or Dayton Treaty).
• Date of Issue (for one version): November 21, 2005 (the date the agreement was initialed in Dayton).
• Motive: The stamp design would have been symbolic of peace or the agreement itself. For the Republika Srpska issue, it is listed as a single value stamp.

Note on Bosnia and Herzegovina Philately:

Due to the complex political structure established by the Dayton Agreement, Bosnia and Herzegovina has three separate postal administrations that issue their own stamps (one for each main ethnic/geographical area):

1. JP BH Pošta (Sarajevo-based, primarily serving the Federation of BiH, Bosniak-majority areas).
2. Hrvatska Pošta Mostar (Mostar-based, serving Croat-majority areas).
3. Pošte Srpske (Banja Luka-based, serving Republika Srpska).

The search results confirmed an issue related to the Dayton Agreement by the Serbian Administration (Pošte Srpske) in 2005. It is possible, though less immediately confirmed by the search, that one or both of the other postal administrations may have also issued a stamp on this significant anniversary.
