Sažetak
Croatian political and military views on events 1990/1996 were not changed regardless the fact that some of the country’s parts had not been invaded nor thought of as annexed to Great Serbia. Having hardly gained independence in the early 1990’s, Croatia breathed as a whole in all aspects. Although the north-west of the country was not directly exposed, it gave a large contribution to Croatian defence in human resources and ensuring arms. The Varaždin 32nd corps, one of the most powerful in YNA, was broken in this area when Croatia had practically no weapons and the UN Security Council put a ban on weapons import. By taking over barracks belonging to the said corps in Varaždin, Križevci and other places in the north-west, Croatia got 7 times more weapons than it previously possessed. Local civilian and military authorities of the region acted in accordance with resolutions brought at state level (Resolution on forming crisis headquarters, Order to take over barracks etc.), and also helped newly recruited soldiers. Of course, there were some slight weaknesses and incomplete actions but generally speaking, the result was great.
