BELGRADE -- Serbia will file lawsuits at the International Court of Justice against the US and all other countries that recognized the false state of Kosovo, the official Tanjug news agency reported on Tuesday.

Since the outgoing US administration has recognized the false state of Kosovo, it will face charges by Serbia, the report quoted Branislav Ristivojevic, advisor to the Serbian prime minister, as saying.

He said it would be best if the outgoing US administration revoked its decision to recognize the false state of Kosovo, or if the new administration did it immediately.

If the US does not annul its decision, Serbia will bring it before every international court, Ristivojevic said.

This is another action Serbia takes against countries that recognized the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo.

Serbia recalled its ambassadors from the US and some other countries soon after they recognized Kosovo.
