This bachelor thesis called "Operation of Mission EULEX in Kosovo in judiciary and police in years 2008-2014" deals with operating of the European Unions' civilian rule of law mission in Kosovo from the point of view of EULEX itself. The aim of this thesis is to find the answer to question, how EULEX perceives its acting and how this perception differs from the opinion of other observers. In the first part of this thesis the historical context is described with the emphasis on the international presence in the region. The second part is dedicated to characteristics of the features of the civilian mission and it describes its structures and functioning. The core of this study is the analysis of missions' programme reports from years 2009 and 2014, where the study follows, if EULEX achieved their declared goals in the period of six years. Thesis shows on this basis, that despite the fact that mission had not achieved originally stated goals, it assesses its performance positively and this opinion is built on partial progress of Kosovar institutions. Taking into account of the opinion of other authors study concludes, that EULEX is optimistic in its evaluation and does not reflect in its reports some of the serious issues challenging Kosovo.
