Summary/Abstract

Croatia's foreign policy towards the ICTY and the EU has been marked by ambivalence in the last couple of years.

The paper reflects on this seemingly inconsistent behavior and argued that Croatia's foreign policy can be better understood when one takes into account how Croatia remembers its most recent past.

Through comparing and contrasting the cases of Belarus and Ukraine, I determine that a combination of domestic elite preferences and the strength of EU pressure - a function of the degree of unity among the EU members on the issue - influence the likelihood of a state's c
