Kosovo claim to statehood 'legal'

The United Nations' highest court has ruled that Kosovo's declaration of independence was legal, dealing a blow to Serbia, which vowed never to accept its former province as a separate state and warned that the ruling could embolden separatist movements around the world.

Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci hailed the ruling July 22 as a "historic victory" and "the best possible answer for the entire world," while Foreign Minister Skender Hyseni said outside the International Court of Justice: "My message to the government of Serbia is 'Come and talk to us.' "
