(Javier Solana)The EU steps on the international podium
In January 2003, the EU embarked on its first crisis management mission abroad. The EU Police Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (EUPM) would last seven years and had a staff capacity of 540 at its peak. The EUPM aimed to establish and train a multiethnic police service and to assist local authorities in conducting large-scale crime investigations. By building and strengthening key institutions in the criminal justice sector, the mission sought to facilitate a return to normalcy in a war-torn region (Merlingen 2009).
In the summer of 2003, an EU military mission landed in the Congo. Militias had killed hundreds of civilians. Thousands sought protection from the UN mission (then dubbed “MONUC”).

The EU mission (ARTEMIS) of approximately 2000 soldiers drove the militias out within weeks and handed control back to the United Nations.
