State Department Issues Serbia Travel Alert

The U.S. State Department has issued a travel alert for Serbia until March 6 following violent demonstrations in the country over Kosovo’s declaration of independence. In rioting in Belgrade Thursday, the U.S. and Croatian embassies were torched—that’s the U.S. embassy burning in the photo—as were many Western businesses. At least one person, a protester, has died. The U.S., UN and the European Union have decried what they view as the Serbian authorities’ weak response to the unrest.
