Croatian Potentials for NATO Membership

Albina Osrečki ; Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova Republike Hrvatske

Sažetak

The process of Croatia's accession to the NATO includes problems that should be urgently resolved. The analysis of the military parameters shows that Croatia, although striving for the membership, should be aware that it would have to increase defence costs by double in order to meet the NATO standards. This would greatly burden the country's abilities on the level of the present economic growth. Croatia is far from meeting the NATO standards regarding the number of soldiers, the amount of heavy weapons and especially the number of naval vessels. Therefore, Croatia is facing a heavy task of complying with the NATO military standards, which would not be reached in the next 15 years. The compliance will depend on the military abilities of the country and Croatia's position in international relations.
