Female experts on gender issues will be included in political activities related to peace- building, regional cooperation and national security. The representation of women in the Croatian Ministry of Defence and Croatia's Armed Forces will be increased, with special emphasis on increasing their representation in managerial positions. According to the Long-term Development Plan of the Armed Forctls of the Republic of Croatia for the period 2006 - 2015, by the year 2015 we expect that women will make up 10% of the operating staff of the armed forces. Moreover, the Ministry of Defence has recently established a Gender Equality Commission, a bod3 in-charge of creating the appropriate environment for the expansion of women's presence in the armed forces.
