It will be five years now that the Republic of Croatia was admitted into the Organization of the United Nations. Within the organization of autonomous states of the contemporary world the Republic of Croatia is the youngest, most recent member, but at the same time a very responsible state, that has already proved that it is able to adjust and adapt its national interest with the aspirations of all democratic countries. Entering, thus, the Organization of the United Nations five years ago, Croatia entered into a world that it had, in principle, helped create itself, the world that propagates its own political ideals. |
