Čak i ako bi suci ICJ-a kažu da proglašenje nezavisnosti Prištine nije bilo u skladu s međunarodnim pravom, nijedna od preko 50 zemalja koje su priznale Kosovo neće biti obavezna poništiti svoju odluku o tome.
Even if the ICJ judges should say that Pristina's independence declaration was not in accordance with international law, none of the over 50 countries that have recognized Kosovo will be obliged to reverse their decisions.
