 Croatia: A shadow on Croatia's future: Continuing impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity - Amnesty ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The failure of the Croatian authorities to ensure that all perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity are brought to justice, regardless of their ethnicity or of that of the victims, and to award full reparations to the victims and their families, is a serious obstacle to the realization of these principles and rights.
The Croatian authorities at all levels should fully and unconditionally cooperate with the Tribunal with a view to bringing the perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity to justice, including by arresting and transferring to the Tribunal's custody Ante Gotovina, who is currently at large and believed to be on the territory of Croatia.
The Croatian authorities should adopt or amend legislation so as to ensure that all acts of "disappearances" are criminalized, including in those cases where the victim is a prisoner of war, or where the violation does not occur in the context of an attack against the civilian population.

 Introduction, Special Issue: War Among the Yugoslavs, AEER 11 (1-2), 1993
As a Croatian student from Sarajevo commented during research in Bosnia in the 1960s "We are united by our common suffering." This was, of course, the official communist view which looked to the ideal Partisan model.
Tito's purge of the Croatian communist leadership was also paralleled, Denich suggests, by the disciplining of the so-called "liberal" i.e., anti-nationalist Serbian communists.
Despalatovic suggests other analytical approaches on the current conflict when she refers to a "strange combination" of former communist leaders trying to hold onto power, a strong modern army without a state and the distrust of rural people for urban civilization (a point discussed earlier) combined with old national myths and twentieth century racism.

Fighting between Croatian and Slovenian militia units with the confused, poorly-led JNA erupted in many places with the result that on June 29, the SC dispatched the so-called Troika peace mission to Yugoslavia.
On July 7, under the auspices of the SC, the Brioni Declaration was adopted: the decisions of Slovenia and Croatia to secede were suspended for three months in an attempt to secure peace and to maintain the unity of Yugoslavia, albeit probably in a revised federal structure.
This was a fundamental error of judgment that led to four years of conflict, the death of thousands of innocent Serb civilians and the Croatian ethnic cleansing of West Slavonia and the Krajina in May and August 1995.
