Its tasks defined by the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), police missions of the EU have appeared as the main civilian mechanism through which the EU contributed to the construction of international peace and security. This paper aims to compare the cases of EUPM-Bosnia-Herzegovina (2003-2012) and EUPOL-Afghanistan (2007-2016), two non-executive missions of the EU.
