Summary/Abstract: The European Union has decided that during 2007 it would launch a special mission in Kosovo within the framework of European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). In the exposition of the Council decision (of 10 April 2006), by which was founded the “Planning Team” (EUPT) of the coming mission it is stated that “the European Union is preparing to increase its role in Kosovo”. Therefore, in the first report on “the future EU Role and Contribution in Kosovo” Havier Solana and Olli Rehn have stressed that UNMIK will not be replaced by some sort of EUMIK. They also announced that NATO units will continue to form the only military component of the Kosovo mission.
