On July 22 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) confirmed that proclamation of Kosovo’s independence did not contradict international laws. And although the court’s decision is not mandatory, it finally put an end to the issue of the former colonies’ right to independence. It is quite likely that after the decision of the ICJ many states, which considered Kosovo part of Serbia, will recognize its independence. One could even say that the two-year fight of Kosovars for their rights produced the logical result.
