Pogorica - Montenegrin police Monday used tear gas to disperse several hundred angry demonstrators at a mass rally against the government's decision to recognise Kosovo's independence. Some 10 000 opposition supporters rallied to demand that the government of Milo Djukanovic to revoke its recognition of an independent Kosovo, a province of Serbia. But as the protest officially ended, some protesters broke the police cordon in front of the parliament building in Podgorica, throwing stones and breaking windows. Police fired tear gas and broke up the crowd. Montenegro on Thursday recognised the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo despite strong opposition from its former federal partner Serbia and pro-Serbia opposition parties.
