"This is the first time in history that the ICJ will be considering an illegal act of secession. Therefore, what the court rules in our case will set a precedent for every future attempt at secession throughout the world," said the minister.
"That means that everyone will refer to this ruling. As a result there is great interest in this case in the professional public and among international legal circles," he explained.
"This is, in every aspect, a historic case before the ICJ. For Serbia it's exceedingly important, but I think it will have great significance-I mean, for peace and stability and international relations in the world in the 21st century," Jeremic said.
