Rat i mir u Hrvatskoj
War and Peace in Croatia

Summary/Abstract: In his analysis of the aims of the war against Croatia the author rejects those definitions of the conflict that are based on historical, ethnical, religious, or ideological motives. These motives are only of marginal significance and are used in order to hide Serbia’s conquest aims. The disintegration of federal communist systems is to a lesser extent brought about by national movements and much more through democratization, the market, and decentralization. For a long time the political strategy of the West drew its moves without understanding the fundamental processes at work in the countries of Eastern Europe and often acted without considering historical changes. From this perspective the author also analyzes the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the genesis of Serbia’s political purposes and war aims in the war against Croatia.
