Maintaining peace in the Western Balkans and Kosovo has become a high aim for international organisations. Challenges in Kosovo such as the confl ict in the 1990’s and afterwards, as well as the lack of political unity and institutions capable of both civilian and military intervention have led to long-term involvement of the EU. It should be noted that the engagement of the EU was also caused by ethnic nationalism, socio–economic problems and interethnic tensions, mainly between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo, as well as unresolved issues in bilateral relations. This paper analyses the role of the EU in maintaining peace through its civilian mission and enlargement policy. The ongoing EULEX civilian mission was aimed at establishing a multi-ethnic justice system and police force, as well as introducing and promoting the rule of law, public order and security. The enlargement policy is seen as an important process of interethnic and inter-state reconciliation.

In the Balkans, apart from NATO and the UN, the European Union has become the subject of security and building, maintaining and enforcing peace. The EU’s goals are taken through two instruments: military and civilian crisis management missions under the Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) and enlargement policy. The issue of this article is centered around EUFOR Althea’s operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which undoubtedly belongs to the peacebuilding catalogue. The authors analyzed the conditions of the operation, the legal basis, the objectives, the tasks, the funding and the composition of the mission. It was also important to indicate successes and failures, and to outline the prospects for the crisis management mission development.
