Abstract
The Union’s internal cohesion is key to the effectiveness of European responses and
dealing with global crises. The EU institutions and the member states must establish
a common vision that would be realized through strong coordination structures for
harmonization of action and adoption of appropriate measures for increased visibility
in the modern international system. The concept of the EU as a global actor that relies
primarily on its soft power is a concept that belongs to the past, as it cannot provide
a sufficient international presence in proportion to the size of the Union. The EU as a
global power with combined power characteristics is a more appropriate concept to
achieve the ambitions for influence on the international scene.
