In the aim of studying the EU’s foreign policy through the lens of the EEAS, we will briefly present the history of its foreign affairs leading up to the establishment of the latter. We will then review the agency itself, and its role within the EU and the world at large. Furthermore, seeing as much of its development was initiated in the Balkan region, we will study the EEAS’s role in peacekeeping and democracy implementation within the context of Kosovo. This entails a close look at the route leading up to the deployment of EULEX Kosovo, how it has functioned, and what developments the EEAS has made in Kosovo thus far. As such, the goal is to study whether the EU has successfully implemented a foreign policy of international aid and act as one.
