Sažetak
In the paper the author discusses some new facts about the Adriatic Sea region where some independent states appeared again on the international scene, some of them after hundreds of years. It caused some new geostrategic relations on the Adriatic Sea as well as in the Mediterranean zone. After the fall of Berlin’ s wall and the collapse of the communist dominance over the Eastern world, the geopolitical situation in the Adriatic and Black sea regions changed too. The war situation in ex Yugoslavia (SFRY), which lasted from 1991 to 1995, resulted in disintegration and establishing of new states in the region. The Adriatic Sea zone was included in some war actions undertaken by ex Yugoslav Navy forces in order to keep on the control over the zone. But, the most important strategic part of the Adriatic, the Strait of Otranto, remained under the control of the main powers, especially of NATO, whose members are Italy and Greece. That is why the conflict did not disperse out of the local zone of the internal Adriatic, which has been controlled by Slovenia, Croatia, Italy and new FR Yugoslavia (Montenegro). The war in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina lasted until 1995. When the war crisis came to an end, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina stabilised their borders. But in FR Yugoslavia conflicts were growing more and more (Kosovo) and resulted in the war in 1999. NATO and international forces were included. Some problems connected with sea border defining, should obviously be solved by the strict application of international sea law orders as soon as possible.
