Belgrade wants UN resolution for EU mission He spoke to journalists following discussions with Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis. UN Resolution 1244 is a "very important means of defining the international presence in Kosovo," Jeremic said, adding that "to change the mandate and structure, and for a further international presence in Kosovo, a new UN Security Council decision is required." Bakoyannis stated that Greece's strategic stance is to urge Serbia to join the European Union as quickly as possible. Jeremic was in Athens a day after the first round of the presidential election in Serbia and at a time when Kosovo is at a key turning point, Bakoyannis underlined in a statement to journalists after the meeting. Speaking about Kosovo, Bakoyannis once again stated that Greece is "very reserved toward the possibility of unilateral action, which could lead to tensions," adding that diplomatic possibilities for solving the Kosovo problem have not yet been exhausted.
