Protesters set fire to the American embassy in Belgrade

Protesters in Serbia's capital, Belgrade, broke into the U.S. Embassy on Thursday and set some rooms on fire. The rioters were part of larger protests among Serbian nationalists opposed to the independence of Kosovo. A charred body was later found inside the embassy.

At a briefing this afternoon, State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack said the body was not that of an American. He said all American embassy personnel have been accounted for. The only employees on the scene were local security guards. At least one Belgrade TV station reported that the body was that of a rioter.

Additional news: The young man which body was found last night, after the demonstrations in Belgrade, has bean identified as Zoran Vujovic, one of the rioters, born in 1989 in Caglavica near Pristina, Kosovo.

Yeah, you made your point. Albanians were killing Serbs, Serbs were killing Albanians, but why the hell did we ended up that way? Every smart man knows that war is lost the moment it's been started, but I guess there are no such a stupid politicians running a countries as in Balkans. I know a lot of people who can start a war, based on irrelevant stuff, but I can't find anyone who is capable to win it, and that's how stuff works around here. Be smart and leave it, that's my key word!

It`s not about religion. I just use that as an extra excuse to insult the majority of your culture and dumb hawk worshipping people, especially when I`m drunk like I was last night. As for liberating, hah, maybe in your dreams but in the real world, Russia beats America.

[makedonija77]

You`re stupid. Alot of people either ignore what I say or they don`t read what I write. Read it again then respond to the Adriatic comment.

[makedonija77]

LOL. You can mask your interests all you want infront of these morons, it won't stop us from drowning you in the Adriatic sea. You know as well as I do what goes on Macedonian and Albanian videos - Macedonians, Serbs and Albanians always arguing with eachother about how Illiryans killed Jesus and fucked him with your circumcized Muslim dicks. If you feel amused fooling these clowns, go ahead. I'm expecting to exploiting Albania once it turns into Las Vegas in 3 years. Happy Ramazan

Everyone agrees with me when we tell shiptars to shove those ugly egg hats up their asses and then go pray to Allah, see if he can find a solution. Who knows, maybe he'll flood shiptaria and wash out the desert and the hidious mutated creatures which turned that jungle into a desert in the first place. Chechens come to alibabania and all the plants die. Everything just turns into dust. Such a shame. And eventually those mountain beings turn into dried up prunes themselves. How sad.

[makedonija77]

Exactly. Thank you for this. We fully support your cause.

[makedonija77]

Be quiet. You might be southern Illyrian by modern geography, but you're Chechen by blood. You're traitors to the Christian faith, being majority Sunni Muslims - enemies of America. You're getting a little too high and mighty trying to go against all Slavs instead of just Serbs or Macedonians. That's what cowards do when they have someone like America to have their back. America played both sides in the war, so I can fully blame them if I want. You did not do shit but cause a ruckus. That's it.

Reminds me of the time the British embassy in Dublin got burned down . How the fuck can the yanks expect to bomb someones country , call the people of that country monsters and dogs for over ten years , then carve that country up and then complain when the people burn their embassy ? The serbs were very restrained . America regularly threatens to bomb and invade places that just wont do what they tell them . That pisses everyone off .
