The National Security Office (UNS) (Croatian: Ured za nacionalnu sigurnost) was Croatian executive state authority which coordinated, directed, and supervised the work of government services whose activities are connected to national security. The National Security Office was established by the decision of the President Franjo Tuđman on 21 March 1993. Two years later, on 17 May 1995. the Croatian Parliament adopted the National Security Office Act. In only 17 short articles, the tasks of UNS were outlined as were the details of its internal structure. According to that Act, three services were founded and fall under its jurisdiction:

  • Croatian Intelligence Service (Hrvatska izvještajna služba or HIS),
  • Security Headquarters (Stožer osiguranja),
  • Control and Supervision Service (Nadzorna služba).

In order to perform the professional and technical activities of the National Security Office, the following services (or its organizational units) were formed:

  • National Center for Electronic Monitoring (Nacionalna služba elektroničkog izviđanja or NSEI)
  • Intelligence Academy (Obavještajna akademija).

This two services were not regulated by any legislative acts, rather only by the acts on internal organization.[1]

The Director of the UNS, appointed by the President, was responsible to the President of the Republic for the work of the UNS and the individual services of the National Security Office.[2]
