In the aftennath of the Bosnian and Kosova tragedies, the
European public opinion has criticised European governments for
not preventing ethnic conflİcts in the continent and indeed the
public opinion has been right in its judgement. Europe has be en
perceived as incapable of making any headway on the problems
until the VS and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
decided to intervene to the recent tragedies Iived at the end of the
1990s. The political wiII was lacking, but alsa the structure to
prevent conflİcts. The resulting situation raised the question of the
need to set up a new comprehensive security and defence system
that wiII give Europe greater responsibiIities for its defence by
establishing European Security and Defence Identity (ESDI),
which has been a long historic aspiration for many Europeans.
