Kosovo stirs Balkan neighbors

By IRNA

Belgrade : Bosnian Serb protesters threw stones at Western consulates, in a further display of anger at the US and European Union support for Kosovo declaration of independence.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Banja Luka in the Bosnian Serb republic, chanting ‘Kosovo is Serbian’.

There were more demonstrations in Serbia, but in the rest of the Balkans the reaction was more cautious.

Montenegro, where Serbs make up 30 percent of the population, said it would wait for a clear response from the EU.

Montenegro declared independence from Serbia in 2006 and has taken its first step towards joining the European Union.
