Serbia to take Kosovo issue to International Court
Serbia will demand an International Court of Justice ruling on a Western plan to recognize Kosovo as a state if the breakaway province declares independence next month, President Boris Tadic said on Monday.
"A few hours ago I gave instructions ... that the state should urgently demand that the Security Council start proceedings at the International Court of Justice asking whether the independence of Kosovo would be legal," Tadic said, Reuters reports.
The EU Foreign Minister failed to reach an agreement on Kosovo. At least four EU member states - Cyprus, Greece, Slovakia and Spain - are not in a hurry to recognize Kosovo's independence. Cyprus fears that the TRNC will be on the waiting list.
