The original copy of the Dayton Peace Agreement that ended the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina is missing from the country's presidency, media reported Thursday.

'We found out that the original copy of the Dayton Peace Agreement is missing from the archives of the presidency,' President Zeljko Komsic told reporters in Sarajevo.

He said investigators would enter the presidential building to try to find out what happened to the document of great political and historic importance for Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The then presidents Alija Izetbegovic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Franjo Tudjman of Croatia and Slobodan Milosevic of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) signed in 1995 the Dayton Peace Agreement to officially end the 43-month-long bloodshed in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Some annexes of the document have served since then as the country's constitution.
