International Relations of Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia are impossible to observe outside of the the role of the Croatian state in the international community. This is the framework within which it is possible to identify four phases and four forms of international relations: Patriotic War and the founding of the Croatian state and the Croatian Army; certain post-war isolation and various forms of conflict with international community; period of expansion of international cooperation of Croatia and Armed forces after 2000.; certain full integration of Croatia and the Armed Forces in the international community.
