Question: How do you estimate the decision of the International UN Court pertaining the Kosovo status problem?

Answer. Notwithstanding the fact that decision of International UN Court is of consultative character, it creates certain internationally legal precedent.

However, on my opinion, this decision may be considered as an indirect recognition of Kosovo independence, what will push other states to its recognition.
