Sažetak
The author deals with the political and military aspects of the conflict between Croatia and Serbia. Starting from global political circumstances in which this conflict emerged and developed, he describes the political goals of the conflicting parties, their strategies and military organization as well as the stages of the war in Croatia. After this war, nothing has been the same in Croatia. Croatia has, much sooner than expected and with fewer victims, realized its political goals. Besides the international recognition and the establishment of its authority on almost entire state territory, Croatia has become a major military force. However, the war in Croatia has significantly hindered democratic processes which, in turn, has stood in the way of its taking part in the European integrational processes. Serbia is the loser of this war in every, primarily military respect. The consequence of the Serbian instigatory politics in Croatia has not only been Serbian exodus from Croatia, but the socially unenviable position in which the remaining Serbs in Croatia find themselves. By becoming proponents of Serbian global politics and failing to bring their interests in line with those of Croatia, the leadership of the seditious Croatian Serbs accepted the role of an instrument of global national politics. As Serbian national politics was losing ground and giving up on previous goals - the creation of a great national state - Serbs in Croatia became victims of this politics.
