@ministar_magla I’m addressing something that should never have happened because it contradicts international law.
I cannot call Kosovo a state because, legally, it is not one.
When I see it described as a state, I simply state that fact.
If that bothers you, you’re free not to read.
@ministar_magla I’m not worried about outcomes or timelines.
I’m discussing international law.
Administrative control and partial recognition do not determine statehood.
Kosovo has no UN membership, and UNSC Resolution 1244 remains in force until the Security Council decides otherwise.
@B1N1111@admirim This is a false analogy.
Switzerland and the Vatican were never subject to a binding UN Security Council resolution on their status.
Kosovo is.
Resolution 1244 remains in force, and the ICJ did not rule on statehood.
@T0caMr@rzorsa@admirim You’re misreading Resolution 1244.
“Final status” does not mean unilateral secession or simple majority rule.
It means a negotiated settlement approved by the UN Security Council.
International law doesn’t work on percentages or referendums held outside the UN framework.
@B1N1111@admirim You’re misrepresenting the ICJ.
The 2010 advisory opinion did not recognize Kosovo as a state and did not override UNSC Resolution 1244.
It only said the declaration itself wasn’t illegal.
Statehood was not decided.
@rzorsa@admirim You’re mixing politics with law.
UNSC Resolution 1244 is not invalid because of trade, visas, or claims of independence.
Only the UN Security Council can revoke it and it hasn’t.
Recognition is not created by what states “know”.
@rzorsa@admirim “They all know Kosovo is independent” is meaningless.
In international relations, knowledge is irrelevant, recognition and procedure are what count.
Five EU states do not recognize Kosovo, and UNSC Resolution 1244 remains in force.
@ministar_magla You can claim it all you want, the world clearly doesn’t agree.
Kosovo isn’t a member of the UN or many major international organizations, and UN Security Council Resolution 1244 is still in force.
@HectorDielliart@admirim Using Gaza, where thousands of civilians and children were killed, as a threat or joke says everything about your argument.
I have nothing more to add.
@Megatron_ron Kosovo is not a country.
It is a territory under dispute, recognized by some states and rejected by many others.
Political recognition does not replace international law.
@Acyn $700 billion for Greenland.
Serbia received bombs, destroyed infrastructure, and thousands of dead civilians.
Schools, hospitals, bridges, and TV stations were bombed and in the end, part of our territory, Kosovo and Metohija, was taken.
An interesting definition of “values.”
