Abstract

Based on the published and unpublished archives, newspapers and relevant professional literature this paper analyses the insubordination of some of the policemen of Serbian nationality and police stations in the rebelled area in 1990. Concurrently with the development of the Serbian rebellion and the proclamation of the Serbian Autonomous Oblast of Krajina, the rebelled Serbs were organizing police force as one component of their forces in future arm conflicts. This process was not uniform and it occurred with various specifics in various police stations, but in the end the result was the same; the police stations and policemen of Serbian nationality that showed insubordination to the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia became the nucleus of the police forces of the Serbian parastate in Croatia i.e. the Republic of Serbian Krajina.
