Sažetak
Becoming member of the EU and NATO is a continuous strategic foreign policy goal of the Republic of Croatia. Great expectations of the Croatian public in terms of approaching these integrations, international circumstances (war in the area of the Former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq), as well as inadequate and insufficient information about EU and NATO, caused a rapid downward spiral of the EU and NATO popularity among the Croats. Croatian politicians realized that Croatia has to enter NATO alliance first to enter EU afterwards. A strong guidelines of the Croatia's way to the EU have been set, so it is the right moment that through the public diplomacy activities, Croatian citizens receive the information about real advantages/disadvantages of becoming a NATO member.
