EUFOR Althea: o (ne)efikasnosti operacije za upravljanje krizom u Bosni i Hercegovini
EUFOR Althea je vojna operacija, uspostavljena u okviru Zajedničke vanjske i sigurnosne politike (ZVSP – Common Security and Defence Policy) i predstavlja najdužu vojnu operaciju pod ZVSP, te predstavlja integralni pristup Evropske unije (EU) prema Zapadnom Balkanu. Rat u Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH) je ostavio više od sto hiljada žrtava, dok je iz svojih domova prognano više od dva miliona ljudi. Rat je završen nakon više od tri godine posredovanjem međunarodne zajednice pod okriljem NATO-a. NATO je u zemlji ostao još devet godina u obliku dvije uzastopne misije, ovlašten od strane Ujedinjenih nacija, kako bi se osiguralo sprovođenje mirovnog sporazuma, demilitarizacije, razoružanja oružanih snaga i civilnog stanovništva, te povratak raseljenih lica u svoje prijeratne domove.
