Today, the European Union is facing many responsible tasks related to solving problems in connection with the new security challenges, risks and threats, such as terrorism, human trafficking or hybrid threats by state and non-state actors. In the years ahead, Europe will probably change its role in the global security agenda. This will require a strong European Union, which can enhance the peace and security of the member states. Thanks to the Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP), the European Union has become one of the largest security carriers through civilian and military missions. Through the analysis of the Common Security and Defense Policy, the authors want to point to the existing constraints facing the European Union and to determine the degree of harmonization of national defense policies when it comes to developing the operational capacities of the European Union\'s actors.
