European Union Police Mission In Bosnia And Herzegovina
The European Union Police Mission (EUPM) was the European Union's mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina that aided the local police organizations, and was one of a number of European Union Police Missions worldwide. It was the first such mission undertaken by the EU within the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. The EUPM was the successor to the United Nations' International Police Task Force (part of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina) in Bosnia, whose term ended at the end of 2002.
The EUPM acted under co-ordination of the European Union Special Representative, who also serves as High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The mission was ended on 30 June 2012.
