New FM takes over office from Jeremić

Come on, give the guy a brake. The court challenge was a f*#* up, but ultimately a meaningless one. He did an undeniably fantastic job of positively raising Serbia's international profile while ceaselessly emphasizing the issue of its territorial integrity to the world. I really do think that many more countries would have recognized the UDI if any one else in the former government had been foreign minister. He was able to spin the Kosovo issue into an opportunity for many a bullied nation to thumb its nose at the US with little consequence. This was demonstrated when he was personally elected over a US candidate. His only problem is he is a Democrat, but he was the only competent one. Just hope the new guy does nearly as well.

"“I believe that the Foreign Ministry under new foreign minister will continue to represent Serbia’s interests at the international scene in the best possible way,”Jeremić noted."

Oh boy, this is not good for Kosovo... they're loosing the main contributor to Kosovo's international recognition. The legality of Kosovo's UDI whould have never been established without Vuk's invaluable contribution.

Why not? Some persons from Kosovo could have asked the same question to the ICJ, with the same result.
Or do you mean the Kosovo officials would have been stupid enough not to ask about the legality of an UDI, but about the legality/statehood of Kosovo instead? Well, then, the answer would have different (or the ICJ would have refused to answer).
