Decision soon on Kosovo independence declaration

Serbia’s foreign minister has said that the upcoming ruling by the International Court of Justice on the legality of Kosovo’s declaration of independence will create “an unprecedented opportunity” for compromise between rival Serbs and ethnic Albanians.

But Vuk Jeremic told the UN Security Council that the Serbian government will never accept the independence of its province – and Kosovo’s Foreign Minister Skender Hyseni said his government will never accept a return to Serb rule.
