Rioting erupted in the Serbian capital Belgrade last night as 2,000 protesters hurled stones at the U.S. embassy, which was guarded by 500 police.
In Belgrade, Serbian prime minister Vojislav Kostunica branded the southern region "a false state". In a televised address, he said Kosovo was propped up unlawfully by Washington, which was "ready to violate the international order for its own military interests".
In Kosovo itself, hand renades were thrown at EU and United Nations buildings in the flashpoint city of Mitrovica where 60,000 Serbs live - half the Serb population of the world's newest country. Nato-led peacekeepers in Mitrovica put up concrete and wire barriers to close off the bridges dividing the Albanians and Serbs.
"We'll see what happens during the night," said one Serb man. "There will be a lot of armed people here." He pulled a hand grenade from his pocket. |
