Serpent Island Iv. A Decades-Long Dispute Between Romania And Ukraine Over Boundaries In A Hydrocarbon-Rich Zone Of The Black Sea Entered A New Phase When It Came Before The U.n.'s Highest Court In The Hague. Romania Insists Upon Recognizing This Islet As A Simple Uninhabited Rock, While Ukraine Claims To Treat It As An Island, Suitable For Life. If The Latter Approach Will Be Ratified By The United Nation's Highest Judicial Organ, Ukraine Will Be In Advantage In Accessing The Natural Resources. Kyiv Intend To Create An Exclusive Economic Zone, Or Eez, Around Serpents Island, Where Natural Gas And Oil Deposits Are Thought To Be Concentrated. Case Hearings Have Started On September, 2, And Still Continue. The Photograph Was Taken During A Scientific Project Trip A Week Ago.
