US ambassador warns Serbia on violence vs. diplomatic missions (9:03 p.m.)
BELGRADE, Serbia - The U.S. ambassador warned Serbia's leaders Sunday to prevent future violence against diplomatic missions.
Ambassador Cameron Munter expressed fury at the mob that set fire to the U.S. Embassy last week to protest America's embrace of Kosovo's declaration of independence. Serbia considers Kosovo to be part of its sacred heartland and believes that U.S. actions are wrong.
"I'm very angry at what happened," Munter said of the riots. "It had better not happen again."
He called on government leaders to condemn the violence and to promise it will never happen again. (AP)/b> |
