Ban calls for constructive dialogue between Serbia, Kosovo

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called Thursday for "constructive dialogue" between Serbia and Kosovo after a UN court found Kosovo did not violate international law in declaring its independence in 2008, dpa reported.

"The secretary general strongly encourages the parties to engage in a constructive dialogue," his spokesman said in a statement in New York following the decision earlier Thursday at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague. "The secretary general urges all sides to avoid any steps that could be seen as provocative and derail the dialogue."

Ban said he would forward the non-binding decision to the General Assembly, which would decide how to proceed.
