The global struggle against terrorism is currently most important world issue. The world, including the Islamic and Arab states reacted to the terrorist challenge in a global fashion. The international community is already contemplating beyond the current military phase of the anti-terrorist operations in Afghanistan. The present coherency within the international community is the highest since the World War II, joining earlier rivals in a common effort against the common enemy. The Anti-Terrorist Coalition has proven to be an agent and a vehicle of significant changes in the international community. The changed international situation also brings a possibility of a new international consensus regarding the resolution of the Middle Eastern crisis. Croatia took a place side by side with all democratic and peace-loving countries in the international struggle against terrorism. Croatia will continue to contribute fully to the stability and co-operation in Europe, supporting the anti-terrorist effort on the national, regional, and international levels.
