"Our opinion on Kosovo did not change. We have sent our opinion to the ICJ and we are expecting a positive assesment for Serbia", Gasparovic said after meeting his Serbian counterpart Boris Tadic.

He added that the ICJ opinion should be "very simple if it is being based solely on international law".
