The article analyses the possibilities of shaping security in the European Union’s closest neighbourhood: starting with the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), instruments that it has on its disposal and the effects of EU efforts in respective EU external regions. Due to the fact that the EU neighbourhood is differentiated, the EU has different possibilities to affect the stability and development of eastern, southern and northern regions. The EU has a different approach towards countries aspiring to EU membership (the Balkans, Turkey) and towards countries which have not been presented with the European perspectives (eastern and Mediterranean countries), The latter ones were grouped in the European Neighbourhood Policy concept in 2004, In the ENP assumptions, the EU desires, among others, to prevent conflicts, respond to crises and organise peace operations. This means that European Neighbourhood Policy is connected with the European Security and Defence Policy. The author gives examples of the EU support for stabilisation, monitoring, technical, military and civilian missions and tries to show their effectiveness.
