Rad se bavi političkim i ustavnopravnim pitanjima koja su prethodila osnivanju Vlade demokratskog jedinstva. Napose, pitanjima koja su vezana uz agresorski rat protiv Republike Hrvatske. U radu se razmatraju mogući razlozi zbog čega se za Vladu demokratskog jedinstva izbjegava koristiti (u raspravi o njoj) njezino obilježje da je koalicijska vlada, iako ona to, nesporno, jest – po načinu svoga nastajanja, nadležnosti i samog djelovanja. Pored toga, ukazuje se na značaj i učinke Vlade demokratskog jedinstva sa ciljem smirivanja i stabiliziranja tadašnjeg kaotičnog političkog stanja u Republici Hrvatskoj, radi jačanja jedinstva i sloge, te u svrhu odlučnog opredjeljenja hrvatskog naroda u političkom smislu za uspostavu ravnopravne zajednice državljana koji će braniti i obraniti Republiku Hrvatsku i njezine građane, te joj osigurati slobodu, puni teritorijalni integritet i suverenitet. Jedan od temeljnih ciljeva bio je međunarodno priznanje u okviru granica koje je Hrvatska imala kao Socijalistička Republika Hrvatska. Prethodno navedena pitanja kojima ću se baviti u ovom radu, primarno ću obraditi s ustavnopravnog aspekta, ali i s aspekta međunarodnog prava.; This paper deals with political and constitutional legal issues which preceded the establishment of the Government of democratic unity,namely, issues related to the war of aggression against the Republic of Croatia. Considered are the possible reasons why, for the Government of democratic unity, using in discussions the characteristic that it is a coalition government is avoided even though it is indisputably so according to the way it came about, its authority and very activity. Apart from that, the significance and effects of a government of democratic unity are pointed out with the aim of calming and stabilising the then chaotic political situation in the Republic of Croatia in order to strengthen unity and harmony in the aim of decisivecommitment of the Croatian people in a political sense to establishing an equal community of citizens who will defend the Republic of Croatia and its citizens ensuring freedom, complete territorial integrity and sovereignty. One of the basic aims was international recognition within the borders that Croatia had as the Socialist Republic of Croatia. Previously mentioned issues to be dealt with in this paper will be dealt with primarily from the Constitutional legal aspect as well as from the international law aspect.
