Abstract

U radu se kronološki analizira povijesni slijed događaja koji je doveo do Domovinskog
rata, odnosno vojno-redarstvene operacije „Maslenica“. Zatim se sažeto prikazuju presudni
događaji iz političkog života Jugoslavije koji su eskalirali u obliku oružanih sukoba što je u
konačnici dovelo do njenog raspada. Potom se jasno naglašava važnost Zadra i njegova
geostrateškog položaja po pitanju konsolidiranje obrane i daljnjeg tijeka oslobodilačkih operacija
u Domovinskom ratu. Nakon toga se... More u središnjem dijelu rada analizira vojno-redarstvena
operacija „Maslenica“ iz siječnja 1993. Objašnjavaju se razlozi pokretanja operacije, prikazuje se
proces priprema i planiranja, opisuju se ciljevi napada, prikazuje raspored suprotstavljenih snaga,
kao i glavnih i pomoćnih pravaca napada te se daje kronološki pregled tijeka i ishod napadnog
dijela operacije. Naposljetku, opisuju se neprijateljski protunapadi i važnost uspješne hrvatske
obrambene epizode koja je uslijedila nakon operacije te međunarodne reakcije na njezino
pokretanje. Less
