Norway hints at possible repeal of Kosovo recognition
Norwegian Ambassador to Serbia Haakon Blankenborg has said that it will be difficult for his country to withdraw its decision on the recognition of Kosovo's independence, but that it is still waiting for the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stand on the issue.

"Norway has recognised Kosovo's independence, but realising how complicated this issue is, we voted at the UN General Assembly for bringing the case, which is partly political and partly legal issue, to the International Court of Justice", Blankenborg told the Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti in an interview.
"It is difficult to go back, but we are waiting for the Court's decision", he said.
Blankenborg said that "in the meantime, the most important is that institutions are doing all that covers the six points" agreed to by the UN, EU and Serbia to be implemented in Kosovo.
