Popis: Croatian foreign workers from Bosnia and Herzegovina and their role in the Homeland War is one of the rarely explored topics of the past war. The reasons for absence of such research are multiple and range from the most general to the most complex. Based on the available sources of certain micro-areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), in this case the area of Prozor-Rama municipality, the paper deals with the research method and signifcance of assistance provided by Croatian foreign workers to the defense of the municipal area of Prozor-Rama during the Homeland War. Given the lack of specifc archival sources that would give a detailed insight into the number of foreign workers who arrived in 1992 and joined the defense of B&H, the paper describes two present ways of providing assistance. The frst, much more frequent, but rarely emphasized course of assistance, describes the manner and difculties in the process of fnancial assistance provided by Croatian foreign workers from the area of Prozor-Rama during the Homeland War in B&H. Others relate to description of individuals and groups of foreign workers for whom aggression and war in B&H were an incentive for immediate return and direct practical involvement in combat operations. The combination of these two types of assistance was extremely important for the local municipal system of government in B&H, which after the aggression and the blockade of the state system was largely dependent on aid arriving outside B&H.
