Kosovo appears with asterisk for first time
Kosovo appeared represented with an asterisk and footnote in an official document of the European Union Tuesday for the first time since Belgrade and Pristina reached the agreement on regional representation of Kosovo.
``I welcome the International Court of Justice`s Advisory Opinion on Kosovo, which confirms that that Kosovo`s Declaration of Independence did not violate international law. Kosovo has been functioning as an independent State for 2½ years. I encourage other States that have not so far recognised Kosovo now to do so. Kosovo is a unique case and does not set a precedent'', Hague said.
