Croatian Red Cross in the Homeland Security System

Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the Croatian Red Cross, as the national
society of the Red Cross in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, has its place
and significance within the newly established homeland security system, which
gained legitimacy through the Homeland Security System Act of 2017. However,
this system requires further development to fulfill its fundamental functions in that
system. Furthermore, the paper describes the activities of the Croatian Red Cross as
an international organization that operates on unique principles in crisis situations,
which make this organization recognizable worldwide. The paper provides personal
observations, guidelines, and recommendations from the author regarding the further
development of the homeland security system and the Croatian Red Cross as one of
its components, which has a wide network of societies and direct interaction with a
many of citizens. Through synergistic collaboration and the utilization of comparative
advantages of each component that builds the homeland security system, the system
becomes a coordination platform that places the individual at its center, develops state
resilience in crisis response, and significantly contributes to overall security.
