Abstract

U radu se na samome početku daje uvod u stanje prije raspada Socijalističke Federativne
Republike Jugoslavije kako bi se za početak dobila šira slika o ratnim događajima koji su
uslijedili na području bivše države. Nakon toga, rad donosi uvid u odraz raspada bivše
Jugoslavije na stanje u Socijalističkoj Republici Bosni i Hercegovini. Zatim se daje pregled
ratnih zbivanja u Bosni i Hercegovini u tri njezine regije: Bosanskoj Posavini, srednjoj Bosni
te bihaćkom okrugu. Ratni su događaji zapoĉeli u ožujku 1992. u Bosanskoj Posavini, a
Republika Hrvatska se od samoga početka uključila u razrješavanje ratnih sukoba u susjednoj
državi. Nadalje, u srednjoj Bosni postupno je došlo do pogoršanja u odnosima između Hrvata
i Muslimana što je u konačnici dovelo do hrvatsko-muslimanskoga rata u srednjoj Bosni
tijekom koji je potrajao više od godinu dana. Ipak, sređivanje odnosa dovelo je do suradnje
između dvije strane koja se najviše očitovala na primjeru grada Bihaća koji je isključivo zbog
nastojanja Republike Hrvatske spašen od okupacije srpskih snaga. Unatoč okupaciji trećine
svojega teritorija Republika Hrvatska se nesebično uključila u trasiranje puta koji je Bosnu i
Hercegovinu vodio prema njezinoj slobodi, nezavisnosti te međunarodnom priznanju. Upravo
je taj odnos Republike Hrvatske prema ratu u Bosni i Hercegovini ključna odrednica ovoga
diplomskoga rada.

Abstract (english)

This paper introduces the situation before the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia in order to get a broader of the war that followed in territories of the former state.
After that, the paper brings insight into the reflection of the breakup of the former country on
the situation in the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and then provides an
overview of the war events in Bosnia and Herzegovina in three regions: Bosanska Posavina,
central Bosnia and the Bihać County. The war events began in March 1992 in Bosanska
Posavina, and from the very beginning the Republic of Croatia became involved in the
resolution of war conflicts in the neighboring country. Furthermore, relations between Croats
and Muslims gradually deteriorated in central Bosnia, which eventually led to a CroatianMuslim war in central Bosnia, which lasted more than a year. However, the improvement of
relations led to cooperation between the two sides, which was most noticeable on the example
of the town of Bihać which was saved from the occupation of Serbian forces only because of
the efforts of the Republic of Croatia. Despite the occupation of one third of its territory, the
Republic of Croatia selflessly embarked on the route that Bosnia and Herzegovina led
towards its freedom, independence and international recognition. This relationship between
the Republic of Croatia and the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the key determinant of this
graduate work.
