This is how much money Kuntos wanted for Dayton Agreement

The Ministry of Internal affairs confirmed today that Z.K. was arrested last night on Pale for suspicion that he committed a crime of "Influence peddling" and "Falsification or destruction of an official document". The detainee offered a document "Dayton Peace Agreement" for sale, for 50,000 euros.

Zeljko Kuntosa is suspected that he came into possession of the original text of the "Dayton Peace Agreement" written in English, during 2017, and he offered to sell it in order to obtain the unlawful material gain.

He was brought to the Special Department of the Prosecutor's Office of the Republika Srpska for the suppression of corruption, organized and the most severe forms of the economic crime in Banja Luka, along with the police report on the criminal offense.

Kuntos was hiding the Dayton agreement in the English language in his house on Pale. Media in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) remind that there are many missing papers of the state institutions.

Sarajevo portal Klix reminds that it's not familiar what copy of Dayton agreement the members of the police found last night during the search of the Zeljko Kuntos house. 

The story about the disappearance of the copy became actual in 2008 when the original document disappeared from the Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency Archive in Sarajevo.

Namely, the Presidency of BiH then established that the original Archive did not contain the original Dayton Agreement, and the exact time and circumstances of the disappearance are still unknown today.

The then chairman of the presidency of the BiH, Zeljko Komsic, warned at the session of the Presidency that the original copy of the Dayton Agreement had disappeared from the archives.

Komsic's discovery provoked great excitement since it was known that Alija Izetbegovic, after returning from America, personally to Sarajevo, brought an original copy of the Dayton Agreement, and 13 years later, no one knew where the document with unequivocal historical significance had ended up.

When Alija Izetbegovic, Slobodan Milosevic, and Franjo Tudjman signed the Dayton Agreement at the end of 1995, they probably didn't even think that their successors might lose such an important document.

And that happened in Belgrade and in Sarajevo. That is why it remains unclear whether the original documents that have been found are Serbian or Bosnia and Herzegovinian.

The home of people of Parliamentary Assembly of BiH adopted a decision at the end of 2009 by which the Presidency of BiH and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are obliged to obtain and make available to the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH the original text or a certified copy of the Agreement as soon as possible from France, the depositary of the Dayton Peace Agreement.

There are six more copies of Dayton agreement in the world. Those are Croatian, American, German, French, Russian and British, and they were all written in the English Language.
