[JURIST] Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic [official profile] has said that Serbia plans [press release] to ask the International Court of Justice [official website] to determine whether the Kosovo's recent declaration of independence [JURIST report] "represents a violation of international law." Jeremic's comments came following a Thursday meeting of Balkan foreign ministers in Sofia. Meanwhile Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostiunica [official profile] has requested that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official profile] "produce the precise legal documentary basis" for establishing an international steering group for Kosovo.
