Sažetak
Starting from its establishment, the Republic Croatia found itself in the storm of war, exposed to aggression by Serbia and Yugoslav People’s Army as well as rebellion of a part of citizens of Serbian nationality. The goal of the rebellion was conducting various subversive-terrorist activities, performing violent and criminal action, provoking general chaos and finally overthrowing legal authorities. Major criminal activities: executions, plundering, persecutions, menaces, destruction of homes, torching, demolishing cultural and spiritual values, and shelling of cities were committed at the beginning of the aggression and lasted with varying intensity throughout the war. All these criminal actions were conducted in a conqueror’s manner, out of revenge, hatred and intolerance toward Croatian citizens and since they had a terrorist foundation, we called them war crimes with attributes of terrorism. In order to explain this phenomena, we analysed data resulting from research activities of polices services and applied classification type descriptive analysis. Our basic hypothesis was: that war crimes with attributes of terrorism, according to motivation, way of perpetration and goals towards victims, had a multilayer character from purely political-ideological intentions to conquer territory to displaying abusive-criminal actions towards people and their belongings.
