(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JULY 23 - Kosovo President Hashim Thaci
has enthusiastically commented on the 9th anniversary of the
verdict through which the International Court of Justice
confirmed the right of Pristina to independence. "It was the
greatest international victory of the Republic of Kosovo, which
paved the way for strengthening international subjectivity,
forever marking our right to self-determination", said Thaci
cited by the Serbian media. This decision, he added, "paved the
way for Kosovo to join Nato, the EU, and the UN". Foreign
Minister Behgjet Pacolli also recalled this anniversary, saying
that with the decision of the International Court of Justice a
"strong message was sent, against all the voices opposed to
Kosovo's independence". On July 22, 2010, the International
Court of Justice established that the declaration of
independence proclaimed by Kosovo on February 17, 2008, violated
neither the international law nor the 1244 resolution launched
in 1999 by the UN security council. (ANSA).
