CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER’S STATEMENT REGARDING DECISION BY
INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE ON KOSOVO

Belgrade, 22 July 2010 – Regarding the decision by the International Court of Justice on Kosovo in the Hague today, HRH Crown Prince Alexander stated the following: “We are disappointed about the opinion of the International Court of Justice in the Hague announced today. It clearly shows that force has prevailed over International Justice! By making the decision that independence is irreversible, the Court confirmed that it basically didn’t have its’ own standpoint, and that it didn’t actually need such a long time to present to the public decision made by those who brought tragedy and lawlessness to Kosovo and Metohija by their policy and their deeds.

The Crown Prince wrote letters to President Boris Tadic, Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic and Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic stating “despite today’s decision by the International Court of Justice, I wish that you and your associates will continue with the righteous struggle to preserve our country’s sovereignty, security of our people and territorial integrity. In addition I wish you all the best for your endeavours in keeping peace and good relations in our region with all neighbours for the sake of all citizens. I also wish you success in securing the future of Serbia in the European Union and prosperity for all citizens”.
