UN Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP) was established on 15 January 1996[1] as a peacekeeping mission to monitor the demilitarization of the disputed Prevlaka peninsula by carrying out daily foot and vehicle patrols on both sides of the border between Croatia and Montenegro (then part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).

Countries providing support for this mission included Finland, Argentina, Indonesia, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Ireland and the USA.

It was disbanded on 15 December 2002, the date set by the UN Security Council.[2]
