Case study: Participation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the EU common security and defense policy: Possibilities of regional cooperation

Abstract

Regardless of its current position on its road towards the EU, as well as the relation of the official EU to the situation and processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is the fact that the institutions and political leadership of Bosnia and Herzegovina are committed to peace, stability and cooperation. Bosnia and Herzegovina already applies the general aspect of the EU CSDP, in terms of the declarative acceptance and various forms of military economic, educational and other cooperation with the neighboring countries. Also, Bosnia and Herzegovina actively contributes to peacekeeping missions and operations of the UN and NATO. Specifically, Bosnia and Herzegovina's regional cooperation within the framework of the CSDP could be carried out through active participation of its military, police and civilian forces in EU operations and missions.
