Serbian President Boris Tadic said Monday that Serbia would launch an initiative to have the UN Security Council request an opinion of the International Court of Justice on whether Kosovo’s independence would be legal or not.

"We can see that December 10, as many dates before, is not crucial for the resolution of the Kosovo issue," Tadic said, and announced the continuation of a diplomatic offensive for the preservation of Serbia's sovereignty.

He said that everything should be done to prevent the recognition of Kosovo's unilaterally proclaimed independence.

"If such an act occurs, it is our job to annul such a decision and launch all international legal processes before courts and international legal institutions for the annulment of such an act," Tadic said.

He also said that Serbia, in case some countries accepted that kind of decision, "will launch processes against the governments of those countries before their own legal institutions."
