Kosovo to submit UN membership request

Kosovo president Fatmir Sejdiu said that Kosovo intends to submit a request for United Nations membership in 2011.

July 23, the Kosovo assembly adopted a declaration that says: "The ICJ has opened the road for new recognitions of the Republic of Kosovo and the decision has also opened Kosovo’s road towards regional and Euro-Atlantic integrations.” It "supports the call of the EU for the start of dialogue regarding practical questions between Kosovo and Serbia, but excludes all possibilities of negotiations regarding Kosovo’s status."
