The International Court of Justice has found that Kosovo's declaration of independence did not violate international law. The top UN court began the announcement of its advisory opinion at 3pm today, and it is expected to conclude its remarks at 6pm. Earlier today two well placed sources told Balkan Insight that nine out of 14 judges considering the International Court of Justice's case on whether Kosovo's declaration of independence was legal voted in favour of the view that the move `does not run counter to international law'. Four from the 15-strong panel, which includes the chairman, voted against and one abstained, according to two diplomats working for different international organisations in Pristina. One source told Balkan Insight that Belgrade had been informed yesterday. Balkan Insight has been unable to independently verify this information.

As for Moldova, there doesn't seem to be much appetite fore reunification with Romania. Oh, wait, you were talking about Transdnistria... It gets so confusing... By laying out pros and cons we risk inducing people to join the debate, and losing control of a process that only we fully understand. - Alan Greenspan
