Zannier told Serbia's Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic and Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic that the UN mission in Kosovo will work on the basis of full status neutrality, and exclusively under the mandate of UN Resolution 1244.

Bogdanovic and Jeremic said the reconfiguration must receive an approval from the UN Security Council.

They also reiterated Serbia's dissatisfaction with the unilateral decision of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to start the reconfiration without the UN SC decision.

During the talks, a particular accent was put on the work of the police and judiciary in Kosovo.
