ǂThe ǂEU's common security and defence policy in the case of the Eulex mission in Kosovo

Bilbil Kastrati (Author), Samo Uhan (Author)

Abstract

The article considers whether the EU's CSDP missions are a suitable crisis management mechanism for post-conflict situations, along with the EU's relevance in crisis management at all. For this purpose, the EU's biggest CSDP civilian mission EULEX was chosen as a research case study. The research results reveal that EULEX has not implemented its mandate, not met the expectations of security consumers, not made any difference on the ground, and cannot be seen as an example the EU should rely on in its future missions. Further, EULEX shows that CSDP missions suffer from many shortfalls and the EU CFSP from a capability-expectations gap. The article concludes that the EULEX mission does not show the EU's relevance in the crisis management of post-conflict situations

Secondary abstract:	Članek obravnava vprašanje, ali so misije SVOP EU primeren mehanizem kriznega upravljanja v postkonfliktnih situacijah in kakšna je sploh relevantnost EU v kriznem upravljanju. V ta namen sva za raziskavo kot študijo primera izbrala misijo EULEX kot največjo civilno misijo SVOP EU. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da EULEX ni uresničil svojega mandata, ni izpolnil pričakovanj uporabnikov varnosti, ni dosegel nobenih dejanskih sprememb in ga ne moremo videti kot primer, na katerega bi se EU lahko oprla v prihodnjih misijah. EULEX tudi kaže, da imajo misije SVOP veliko pomanjkljivosti, ter razkriva vrzel v SZVP EU med zmogljivostjo in pričakovanji. Sklep članka je, da misija EULEX ne izkazuje pomembne vloge EU v kriznem upravljanju v postkonfliktnih situacijah
