Iako ICJ-u za presudu po tužbi Makedonije možda neće biti potrebno toliko vremena kao u tužbi BiH protiv Srbije za genocid iz 1993. godine, generalno se očekuje da će sudu za presudu trebati nekoliko godina.
Although the ICJ may not need as much time to rule on Macedonia's application as in BiH's 1993 genocide case against Serbia, the court's judgment is widely expected to take several years.
