Vuk Jeremic told reporters that Serbia would ask the court whether the declaration on February 17 was made in accordance with international law.
He said that if the court rules that the move was illegal, as Belgrade expects it to do, Serbia will gain the support of most members of the United Nations General Assembly, which will deter any further recognition of Serbia's breakaway province.
Kosovo's independence has so far been backed by 36 countries including the United States and most European Union members.
Russia has consistently backed Belgrade's position that Kosovo will always remain a part of Serbia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said last week: "We will continue to consistently support the actions of the Serbs in clarifying the illegality of giving Kosovo sovereign status, and to bring the Kosovo issue back into the international legal process."
