The collapse of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the role of its army ,the YNA, in this process, and the progress of the war in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, have been the subjects of may symposiums and roundtables. Political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, psychologist, criminologist, economists, and military and other specialists, have described in great deal and analysed from their own points of view the event which accompanied this process of collapse.

This paper attempts to fill in these blank spots, and is composed of three sections: the first describes aspects of the normative standardisation of civil-military relations in the newly formed federation; the second describes the disharmony beween these standards and reality, and the third gives some concluding thoughts on the possible development of these relations in the coming short-term period.
