Sažetak
The article shows the exemple of how the process of the inter-religious dialogue and cooperation went through during the war time in Croatia (1991-1995) and soon after that time. The incentive for the cooperation came from the members of two movements - from Cursillo, the laic Catholic movement and the MRA/IofC (Moral-Re-Armament and the Initiatives of Change). They all worked together in forgiveness, forgetting and reconciliation in this region. It shows how religious individuals and groups built the paths of peace togeether, starting with their faqith and their own growth in love towards God and people How the members of the Orthodox and Jewish religion foined that process of interreligious coperation and, what is especially important, a great contribuation was made by the Islamic community in Croatia led by mufti. That is how the members of the two aforementioned movements, each in their own way and inspired by their own religion, cooperted in introduction of a just peace. This is followed by a conclusion that in that process individuals and groups jointly contrituted to peace and constructive cooperation within society, based on their own faith, tradition and spirituality, but without syncretism.
