Abstract

U uvodnom dijelu definirat će se teorijski i pravni okvir mirovnih misija i operacija. Opisat će se
razlozi sudjelovanja Republike Hrvatske u istima. Nakon toga, povijesno će se predstaviti razvoj
NATO mirovnih misija i operacija. Izdvojit će se najbitnije naučene lekcije iz tih misija.
Podrobnije će se objasniti odnos Republike Hrvatske i NATO-a kako bi se ukazalo na važnost
sudjelovanja OS RH u međunarodnim NATO aktivnostima. Istodobno, istaknut će dugoročni
utjecaj NATO članstva na RH. Shodno tome, objasnit će se put RH od primateljice do
davateljice međunarodne pomoći. Sukladno sudjelovanjima OSRH u mirovnim misijama i
operacijama NATO-a detaljnije će se analizirati dvije mirovne misije koje su najviše utjecale na
oblikovanje Oružanih snaga RH. Te dvije misije su ISAF/RSM i KFOR. Na temelju provedenih
intervjua sa časnicima OS RH koji su sudjelovali u navedenim misijama naglasit će se uloga i
zadaće hrvatskih pripadnika u ovim misijama te naučene lekcije i opažanja OSRH iz operacija.
Na kraju će se konstatirati implikacije sudjelovanja RH u mirovnim misijama i operacijama. Na
ovaj način, dobit će se dojam o važnosti participacije RH u međunarodnim aktivnostima u
kontekstu razvijanja vanjske politike te interoperabilnosti i sposobnosti OSRH.

Abstract (english)

The theoretical and legal framework of peacekeeping missions and operations will be defined in
the introduction. The aim of Republic of Croatia’s participation in these peacekeeping missions
and operations will be described. Furthermore, the historical development of NATO
peacekeeping missions and operations will be introduced and the most important lessons learned
from these missions will be highlighted. In order to indicate the importance that the
participation of Croatian Armed Forces (CAF) has in the international activities, the detailed
analysis of the relation between The Republic of Croatia and NATO will be conducted. In the
same time, the long-term influence of NATO membership on Republic of Croatia will be pointed
out. Consequently, the Croatian path from being a recipient of international help to being a donor
of that same help will be explained. According to the Croatian Armed Forces’ participation in
peacekeeping missions and operations of NATO, the detailed analysis will be conducted on the
two missions which shaped the CAF to the greatest extent. These missions are ISAF/RSM and
KFOR. Based on the conducted interviews with the officers who participated in these missions a
focal point will be put on the role and activities of Croatian soldiers in these missions, as well
as the lessons learned, and observations collected by the CAF. In the end, the implications of
the Republic of Croatia’s participation in peacekeeping missions will be noted. This will give a
brief impression of the importance of participating in international operations in order to develop
foreign policy, interoperability and the abilities of CAF.
