Abstract

Stabilization and reconstruction of countries, although are often considered as distinctactions, usually are an integral part of many activities undertaken in the scope of crisisresponse operations, including mainly peace support operations. Therefore the statementthat stabilization and reconstruction is a set of actions and tasks taken within the confinesand background of crisis response operations, which is acknowledged as a main assumptionof this consideration, needs to be emphasized.Taking into consideration the need of comprehensive approach to crisis response that isstressed nowadays, such a perception of the processes outlined above seems to be fullyjustified and desired, both by the political and military decision-makers. It also needs to bepointed out, that wide object scope that includes stabilization and reconstruction, requiresknowledge systematization and its distribution among all subjects involved in these specific,but extremely necessary actions. Military success is just a prelude to further actions aimedto achieve a stable situation in a country, and only then the reconstruction of its governmentalstructures and security forces can be carried out. At the end of the process weshould be able to pass on complete responsibility for a proper country's functioning to thelocal authorities.
