Međunarodni aspekti reforme odbrambenog sistema u Bosni i Hercegovini
International Aspects of Defense System Reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: After a dense succession of events in former Yugoslavia, which peaked with the international recognition of Bosnia and Herzegovina (April 6 and May 21 1992) and after all the events that took place in and around Bosnia and Herzegovina; international community took a more dynamic interest in the country (in political, military, safety and economic sector). One clear conclusion can be drawn after the analysis of international subjects’ engagement in Bosnia and Herzegovina: international players had a key peacekeeping role in the country, as well as an important role in the process of creation of a safe environment for all the citizens. From the point of view of Bosnia and Herzegovina, its integration to European and world processes and meeting conditions for security integration, we can summarize the role of the international actors, especially the international military forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina: The international forces supported by their countries’ policies have contributed the safety of Bosnia and Herzegovina, not only in the sense of preserving peace, but also in the sense of contributing processes in the defense and security sector: in an organizational, functional and material sense, as well as in the sense of changing the mentality within the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Control over the B&H Armed Forces was implemented to a greater extent by the international community through its military structures, then by the relevant entity and state structures of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
