Abstract: The great impetus for the launch of an air bombardment operation on the military targets of Serbian forces by the United States of America, almost synchronously, received the approval and support of the EU High Representatives for Foreign Affairs. The EU Council met in Berlin, attended by the presidents, prime ministers and foreign ministers of the EU member states. At this meeting, the resolution was unanimously adopted, expressing the unreserved support of NATO for its intervention against Milosevic's army. This was a very important resolution for the EU because it became clear to Belgrade and Milosevic, but also to Moscow that all EU countries support NATO and that when it comes to Kosovo, there is no difference. The EU throughout its history did not seem so determined to make major decisions aimed at intervening in a very bloody war on its continent. Despite the development of NATO air operations to coordinate and prepare for the consultation of decisions that would take further decisions, in this period of the bombing campaign the five of the Contact Group, composed of foreign ministers, became a organization led by the US, Germany, France, Britain and Italy, called the Quint countries.
