Abstract: The interest of the European Union towards Central Asia grew after 2002. Fuelled by factors such as the region's geostrategic location, energy resources and potential in fostering stability, the EU's political involvement towards it intensified in the past two decades. The paper assesses EU's actorness in the region of Central Asia, by applying the opportunity, presence, capability framework elaborated by J. Vogler and C. Bretherthon (2006). The paper argues that EU's actorness in Central Asia is limited, but it witnessed a positive development since 2002, the EU being one of the most important actors in the region
