KOSOVSKA MITROVICA — Serbia's hard-line leaders yesterday called the U.S. "the main culprit" in the violence that has broken out since Kosovo declared independence.
Several thousand Serbs chanting "Kosovo is Serbia" and "Russia, Vladimir Putin" protested peacefully in the ethnically divided town of Kosovska Mitrovica, the sixth day of demonstrations against Kosovo's break with Serbia.
On Thursday night, protesters in the Serbian capital Belgrade set fire to the U.S. Embassy, angered by Washington's recognition of Kosovo.
"The United States is the main culprit ... for all those violent acts," Serbia's Minister for Kosovo Slobodan Samardzic said. An aide to hard-line Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said any future violence also will be blamed on the U.S.
