TOWARDS THE EURO-ATLANTIC SECURITY INTEGRATIONS
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2007, Vol 25, Issue 4
Abstract
In order to reach the Euro-Atlantic security integration and to adapt to NATO standards, the Republic of Croatia is implementing the reform of defence sector. This paper briefly surverys the chronological development of Croatia’s national security system and achieved level of transformation in adaptation to the standards and rules valid in NATO and EU. There’s a brief description of conditions in which Croatian armed forces were developing, conducted reforms and the new structure of Croatia’s armed forces, which is based upon rational and realistic basis appropriate to needs and capabilities of the state. The new direction of Croatia’s armed forces development abandons the concept of individual defence and adopts the concept of common defence and security. The new structure and dimensioning of the armed forces will enable a wider participation in operations which react to emergencies abroad (peace and humanitarian operations) as well as the participation in security and trust build-up and help to domestic civilian institutions. Thus, the Armed Forces of Republic of Croatia will be the instrument of actualization of international security and reliance inside the frame and rules of the Euro-Atlantic unions and international security organisations.
