THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- The International Court of Justice Tuesday began hearings in The Hague on the legality of Kosovo's February declaration of independence from Serbia.
The court is set to consider arguments from Serbia and its allies the Albanian-led provisional leadership of Kosovo broke international law by issuing a unilateral independence declaration in peacetime, Euronews.net reported.
Analysts told the Web site the ICJ's decision, which is not expected for months, could determine whether the broader international community recognizes Kosovo as an independent nation. Some 63 countries, including the United States and 22 out of the 27 EU member states, have so far recognized Kosovo's independence, but 120,000 ethnic Serbs in Kosovo, Serbia itself and its ally Russia have not.
Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic planned to attend the proceedings, the Serbian news Web site B92 reported. It said Argentine, British and German experts on international law would also speak on behalf of Belgrade's case.
