Legal teams of Serbia and of the authorities in Pristina are to submit to the International Court of Justice in The Hague today argumentation in the process being led before that court as per request by the UN General Assembly for opinion over legality of the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo from Serbia. This is at the same time the deadline until which other interested countries can present argumentation of their own.

The arguments of Serbia have been summarized in 300 pages with covering documents. The authorities in Pristina intend to present argumentation in two parts in about 500 pages. Serbia Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic explains that the argumentation of Belgrade is based on violation of international and domestic law.
‘Our position is that the Constitution of Serbia, the UN SC Resolution 1244, the Kumanovo Treaty, the Final Helsinki Act and the UN Charter have been violated by unilateral proclamation of independence’, Jeremic says for ‘Blic’.
The authorities in Pristina shall probably refer to self-determination as the only way for Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija to realize their rights. Pristina shall also try to insist on the ‘acceptance of reality’ that over 50 countries have recognized Kosovo independence.
‘Serbia seems to have strong arguments, but the arguments of Pristina are pretty solid, too. I personally expect from the ICJ to make clear decision over the legal status of Kosovo at the moment. Political circumstances shall have no influence on the judges and the legal arguments shall be decisive’, Nikola Barnija, a legal expert who used to work for the ICJ told Tanjug.
Russia, China, Spain, Romania and some other countries that have not recognized Kosovo are expected to present their argumentation, while the stances in favor of independence shall be presented by the USA, France, Slovenia and Finland.
