An inability to agree about the destiny of the city almost scuttled the 1995 Dayton Agreement that ended the war.
The New York Rens, a barnstorming team similar to some of Negro League baseball's clubs, played the 1948-49 NBL season in Dayton as the Dayton Rens.
When the Bosnian war ended in 1995 the Dayton Agreement was signed and the conditions for a multi-ethnic state were enshrined in the constitution.
James Dayton, Paul Heffernan, Hay and Gordon spurned Kilmarnock opportunities.
Though possibly not every basketball fan in Dayton knew this, Mr Cameron has raised taxes as well as cut spending to reduce Britain's deficit.
UNTIL now, the big question for Bosnia-watchers has been whether the embryonic state designed at the Dayton peace conference in 1995 can hold together.
Will the Serb Republic become an integral part of Bosnia, as the Dayton agreement requires and Mrs Plavsic, once an ardent nationalist, now professes to believe?
He and Mr Krajisnik have allegedly made fortunes through their control of companies like Centreks and Selekt-Impeks, which have a near-monopoly on the import of petrol, cigarettes, coffee and alcohol to Serb areas.Mrs Plavsic has picked her fight with Mr Karadzic over corruption, allegedly the source of his patronage and a far more popular cause among Serbs than implementing Dayton.
Wal-Mart and Target (formerly Dayton Hudson) already have some outlets in shopping malls, including vacated department-store buildings.
Yet so long as people like Mr Karadzic remain in powerful positions, Dayton is unlikely to work.But Mr Karadzic has reason to ponder anew.
