Serbia unhappy with Kosovo ruling
UN judges have ruled that Kosovo's secession in 2008 had not broken international law.
Members who made the non-binding decision found no reason to block the Serbian province's declaration of independence, made nine years ago.
But Serbia has said it will never recognise Kosovo's independence after losing the territory during a NATO bombing campaign in the 1990's war in Kosovo between Serb forces and ethnic Albanian separatists.
Belgrade has argued the move violated its territorial integrity.
The US has welcomed the ruling and has urged European nations to unite behind it.
Kosovo's government has said it hopes the result will prompt many of the countries that have not recognised an independent Kosovo to follow the 69 states that have now done so.
