At several points during Joe Sacco's "cartoon journalism" graphic novel, Safe Area Goražde, he references the ongoing Dayton Accords that war-weary Bosnians watched on TV.

The Dayton Accords (or the Dayton Agreements) were negotiations held between the various actors of the 3.5 year war in the Balkans. The meetings were held at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, and the signatories included:

Slobodan Milošević
Alija Izetbegović
Franjo Tuđman
Bill Clinton
Jacques Chirac
John Major
Helmut Kohl
Viktor Chernomyrdin
