Pristina 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. The closing date for this is July 17. Pristina to submit added material to ICJ Serbia’s legal team has already done likewise in the case, where Serbia is asking the International Court of Justice for its opinion on the legality of Kosovo’s unilateral independence. The new material is made up of responses to the depositions of other countries submitted before April 17. Serbia’s chief legal adviser before the ICJ, Sasa Obradovic, 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. “We treated the depositions of other countries thematically; those that were more extensively argued, they found more room in our answers. We stressed only the depositions that went along with our thesis,” he said. The next step in the process is for all the countries that want to participate in the verbal debate to register with the court by September 15. Other than Serbia and the temporary Kosovo institutions, 35 other countries have submitted depositions to the ICJ regarding this case.
