Kosovo declares independence from Serbia

By Matt Robinson1 hour, 41 minutes ago

Kosovo Albanians declared independence on Sunday, drawing instant condemnation from Serbia and triggering angry scenes outside the U.S. embassy in Belgrade.

Serbia's backer Russia called for an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council, but with no prospect of changing Western backing for the secession.

Ethnic Albanians partied in the streets of the Kosovo capital Pristina, and in Tirana in neighboring Albania, but in Belgrade up to 2,000 angry Serbs converged on the U.S. embassy, hurling stones, smashing windows and lighting firecrackers.

Riot police tried to push them back and appeared to be getting the upper hand and dispersing the crowd.

In the Kosovo Serb stronghold of Mitrovica, three hand grenades were thrown at buildings of the United Nations and European Union. One exploded, causing minor damage.

The reaction came within hours of the Kosovo parliament proclaiming the territory independent and sovereign, sparking jubilant scenes on the snow-covered streets of Pristina.
