The occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions as a result of Russian aggression cause the relevance of the study of foreign experience in restoring the territorial integrity of the country and the reintegration of the returned territories. The article presents an analysis of experience of Croatia in the de-occupation and reintegration of the territory of the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina. The process of restoring the territorial integrity of Croatia through the military offensive operations after long-term ineffective peacekeeping missions of UN as well as through a peaceful return and gradual reintegration under the control of international peacekeeping missions has been researched. The factors contributed to and hindered this process, in particular, international mediation and assistance, reformation of the military sector, the position of non-combatants, the activity of public organizations and etc. were outlined. Based on the conducted analysis, it has been established that experience of Croatia in peaceful reintegration can be used in Ukraine in the field of peacebuilding, restoration of trust between the population of two sides of delimitation line, the return of displaced people, recognition of civil law documents issued at uncontrolled territories, pension issues, introduction of transitional police forces, international mediation and assistance in the process of reintegration of the population of the conflict zone into the peaceful public life of the country can help to develop more effective strategies as for the reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
