The Labyrinth of the Legal Classification of Armed Conflicts in Croatia 1990 — 1995

Summary/Abstract: Almost thirty years after the armed conflicts in Croatia, there are still ongoing discussions about their causes, their legal nature and the consequences they have for today's relations between Serbia and Croatia, as well as relations between Serbs and Croats in Croatia itself. In this paper, the author is looking for an answer to the question of the legal qualification of these armed conflicts and whether it can offer us certain directions for the beginning of the improvement of modern relations between Croatia and Serbia. The basic argument of the paper is that the legal classification of armed conflicts in Croatia was changing and that from a non-international armed conflict in the summer of 1991, it later evolved into an international one. In addition, the paper claims that a correct understanding of the legal classification of these conflicts offers certain starting points for the improvement of contemporary relations between Serbia and Croatia, but also that this legal qualification has inherent limitations in terms of the broader context of political relations between these two countries.
