It represents particular empirical results of researching the standpoints of Croatian public regarding the character of threats to national security of the Republic of Croatia as well as the participation of members of the Croatian Armed Forces in international military missions (operations). It is shown that the requirement for organizing public discussions and public policies is important for establishing trust among the public, political state and national security system of which defence planning is a component. In the light of new security paradigm and membership of the Republic of Croatia in NATO – Alliance, contemporary approach to planning forces, selection of the best option and drafting Strategic Defence Review are analyzed.
