U.S. Orders Some Diplomats To Leave Serbia

In a precautionary move the State Department on Friday ordered nonessential diplomats and the families of all American personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade to leave Serbia, following an attack on the compound.


The move, made at the request of U.S. Ambassador to Serbia Cameron Munter, came as U.S. diplomats across the Balkans went on alert, girding for more anti-American violence after Serb rioters stormed and torched the Belgrade embassy Thursday, causing as-yet undetermined damage and drawing fierce condemnation from Washington.

For once our government is being proactive, and actually taking care of a problem, before someone gets killed!! Good call on Ambassador Munter's part!!
