Moratinos, whose country is one of five EU member-states that have not recognized Kosovo, said that the ruling paved the way for a "new phase" in solving the Kosovo issue, "based on a dialog with Serbia". The Spanish minister said Madrid "respected" the ICJ decision, but noted that it "in no way changed Spain's position not to recognize Kosovo as a state".
