I don't think "seno" means "heart" or "core" here. Can't grasp it.

Thanks in advance.

Same as in Spanish; it's a figure of speech. As for "usual," you have 728,000 hits in Google for that metaphoric use of the term, 106 of wich are just for "in [or within] the bosom of the European Union [or EU]." You can't get any more "usual" than that!

Tough term. I'd use "within".
Or "at the interior", "inside" the EU

Reference:
You probably want core or heart
It appears from various EC docs and speeches that the "Great Lakes" crisis has to do with the fighting and other problems in Ruanda/ Zaire, with the EC seeking other international groups and agencies to be more involved.
Example sentence:
Agreed to in the very core
