The EUMM was established by the European Union in 2008 in the aftermath of the Russia-Georgia war. It is a civilian and unarmed mission tasked with contributing to stability and normalcy in conflict-affected areas of Georgia.

The EU also has a presence in Armenia, with the European Union Mission in Armenia being established in 2023. EUMA is a civilian mission, with the official mandate of "stabilising border areas and promoting peace". Baku strongly opposed it, viewing the deployment as biased and non-consensual, particularly since it was made without Azerbaijan’s agreement.
