Summary/Abstract: To establish the nature of intercultural relations, I chose to analyze Romanian military participants in UN peacekeeping missions. Thus, I limited the research to UNOCI missions in Côte d`Ìvoire, where civil-military assignments are included in the assignments of any military observer, with no precise or distinct tasks in this respect. After a closer look at how both sides manage to communicate, I reached the conclusion that the dialogue between civilians and their military counterparts in of high importance in terms of effective communication as well as efficient mission accomplishment.
