United Nations Security Council resolution 1335, adopted unanimously on 12 January 2001, after recalling previous resolutions on Croatia, including resolutions 779 (1992), 981 (1995), 1088 (1996), 1147 (1998), 1183 (1998), 1222 (1999), 1252 (1999), 1285 (2000), 1305 (2000) and 1307 (2000), the Council authorised the United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP) to continue monitoring the demilitarisation in the Prevlaka peninsula area of Croatia for six months until 15 July 2001.[1] It was the first Security Council resolution adopted in 2001.

The Security Council welcomed the generally calm and stable situation on the Prevlaka peninsula but remained concerned at violations of the demilitarisation regime and limitations on the freedom of movement of United Nations observers. It welcomed the opening of the crossing points between Croatia and Montenegro facilitating civilian and commercial traffic without security incidents that represented a significant confidence-building measure between the two countries. There was still concern at the lack of progress towards a settlement of the disputed Prevlaka peninsula issue and a demining programme. The resolution noted that the presence of UNMOP contributed greatly to maintaining conditions conducive to a settlement of the dispute.

Both Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) were urged to fully implement an agreement on the normalisation of their relations, cease violations of the demilitarisation regime, reduce tension and to ensure freedom of movement to United Nations observers.[2] Both countries were called upon to implement confidence-building measures from Resolution 1252 and the Secretary-General Kofi Annan was asked to report by 15 April 2001 on progress made with these issues. The parties were urged to report on the progress of their bilateral negotiations at least twice a month and put a comprehensive demining programme into place.

Finally, the Stabilisation Force, authorised in Resolution 1088 and extended by Resolution 1305, was required to co-operate with UNMOP.[2]
