Summary/Abstract: In trying to suggest the real character of the war in Croatia the author points to the differences of existing peace initiatives and movements with regard to the conflict in question. From the perspective of political strategies the author analyzes three approaches to the resolution of the conflict in former Yugoslavia: (1) Pax americana, defined by the confrontation o f the traditional superpower, USA, and the new, strong Europe headed by Germany. (2) Pax serbiana, as a renewal of the ≫Yugoslav≪ type of state with the purpose of maintaining control over its most developed areas. (3) Pax croatica, which is being implemented through the creation o f the Croatian state in terms of a civil society ruled by law and a gradual integration of Croatia into Europe.
