/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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.
