THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Kosovo told Serbia to deal with it as a sovereign state on Thursday after the World Court ruled the former province's unilateral secession from Serbia in 2008 did not violate international law.

"I expect Serbia to turn and come to us, to talk with us on so many issues of mutual interest, of mutual importance," Kosovo's foreign minister Skender Hyseni told Reuters after the ruling on Serbia's claim Kosovo's declaration of independence was a "flagrant violation" of its territorial integrity.

"But such talks can only take place as talks between sovereign states," Hyseni said.
