Priština has announced that it too will be submitting comments on the depositions by other countries in the case concerning Kosovo’s independence at the ICJ.
"Serbia’s chief legal adviser before the ICJ, Saša Obradović, told B92 that Belgrade’s arguments centered on the fact that not even countries that supported independence had a single legal answer to the question of how Kosovo’s secession from Serbia could be consistent with international law."
Kosova is clear cut case of self determination of an oppressed people. Quoting American State Department,
“Secession can be a legitimate aim of
some self-determination movements, particularly
in response to gross and systematic violations of
human rights and when the entity is potentially
politically and economically viable.”
Nonetheless, self determination doesn’t automatically qualify a national movement to statehood. Equally it is fair to say that international community for obvious reasons has treated state sovereignty favourably compared to self determination, (although this right is not regulated in law).
Naturally many states are afraid of a clash between stability and self determination and that’s why the latter is not clearly defined in terms of international law.
In our case, stability of the region and self determination of Kosovars go hand in hand, as far as they support and compliment each other conceptually and practically, hence the coined phrase” Kosova sui generis”.
