Croatia's pledge to intervene in Bosnia was not surprising, given a spring 1994 deal in which the Bosnian government and the Croats agreed to focus their combined efforts on fighting ethnic Serbs.
Croatia's lopsided victories in Krajina and Bosnia helped produce momentum toward peace talks for the Muslim republic, with the foreign ministers of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia (representing the Bosnian Serbs) agreeing to the basic principles for a settlement by September.

The war in Croatia had two phases: the first phase was characterised by intensive intelligence and counter- intelligence operations on the part of the Yugoslav National Army; the second phase involved the open armed attack on Croatia.
The scale and nature of the war is most clearly indicated by the fact that, in all the areas which fell to the attackers, the number of dead and wounded civilians is significantly greater than the number of casualties among the police and soldiers.
Croatia is obliged to cope with the problems of refugees until they are able to return to their homes, and the task will become increasingly difficult and complex as the people concerned become more and more restive.
