自独立以来，中亚国家的边界管理一直无法有效保障该地区安全，也未能起到促进该地区经济发展的作用。欧盟为保证在中亚的能源和安全利益，积极推广欧盟边界一体化管理经验，主要通过BOMCA（边界管理）和CADAP（毒品行动）两个援助项目予以实施。欧盟援助下的中亚边界合作已初具规模，其最终目的是将中亚国家边界与其东部邻国边界有机连接起来，再将东部邻国边界与欧盟边界有机连接起来，形成从欧盟到中亚统一而有效的边界管理体制。

Since independence, the BOMCA of Central Asian countries has always not only been unable to effectively guarantee the security in this region, but also could not promote the economic development in this area either. In order to ensure its energy and security interests in Central Asia and actively promote its experiences in integrated border management, EU has primarily implemented two assistance projects through BOMCA (border management) and CADAP (Drug Operations). The Central Asian border cooperation under EU’s assistance has taken basic shape, with the ultimate aim to link Central Asian countries’ borders and their eastern neighbours’ borders, and then the eastern borders of neighbouring countries with the EU’s borders. Finally, a unified and effective border management system will be formed from the EU to Central Asia.
