The introductory note highlights the context in which the conferences were held and emphasizes that the texts represent the personal views of the authors.

The authors also present the military, diplomatic, and geopolitical circumstances that shaped Croatia's path to independence.
The second part focuses on the ceremonial session of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 2011, at which state officials and academics reviewed twenty years of statehood. The speeches emphasize the importance of democratic transition, national cohesion, international affirmation, and the symbolic weight of the process of creating a modern Croatian state.
The collection represents a valuable document of a historical moment and presents diverse perspectives of politicians, scholars, and participants in key events.
