Representatives of Bulgaria and Burundi have claimed today before the International Court of Justice that Kosmet had not violated the international law by unilaterally proclaiming independence. Legal representative of Bulgaria Zlatko Dimitrov has said that the international law does not prohibit the declarations of independence or secession, and he rejected the argument of several other countries that in case of Kosmet it was in collision with UN Security Council Resolution 1244. Representatives of Burundi have stated that the opinion of the court regarding the legitimacy of the unilateral independence will not have any effect, because Kosmet exists as a fact, as they have explained. Namely, the International Court of Justice will hear the arguments of 28 countries, prior to making its decision and stating opinion on the question “is the unilaterally proclaimed independence by the interim Kosmet authorities in line with the international law”, as it was passed in October last year by the UN General Assembly, at the initiative of Serbia.
