Mato Arlović
Abstract

Apart from that, the significance and effects of a government of democratic unity are pointed out with the aim of calming and stabilising the then chaotic political situation in the Republic of Croatia in order to strengthen unity and harmony in the aim of decisivecommitment of the Croatian people in a political sense to establishing an equal community of citizens who will defend the Republic of Croatia and its citizens ensuring freedom, complete territorial integrity and sovereignty. One of the basic aims was international recognition within the borders that Croatia had as the Socialist Republic of Croatia. Previously mentioned issues to be dealt with in this paper will be dealt with primarily from the Constitutional legal aspect as well as from the international law aspect.
