Speaking in Center for Strategic and International Studies, Bakoyannis said that the unified stance of the 27-member organization remains the crucial element for solving the final crisis in the Balkans, but has made clear that Athens is in no hurry to recognize Pristina's independence.
However, the Greek Foreign Minister also said that the Kosovo issue will top the agenda of Monday's meeting of European foreign ministers in Brussels, which will take place just hours after the announced declaration of independence in Pristina.
