Recently elected Serbian President, Boris Tadić, has responded to yesterday evening’s violence in Belgrade, which involved the torching of the US Embassy by an unruly mob numbering hundreds. The mob was but a tiny minority of the crowd of hundreds of thousands, which had gathered earlier in the day to peacefully protest Kosovo’s declaration of independence on Monday of this week. Tadić, a the leader of the moderate Democratic Party in Serbia, had this to say about the events:
Tadić, who was in Romania Thursday, today said he has “asked all relevant institutions for reports on yesterday’s unrest in Belgrade”.
For the same reason, he was called a session of the Council for National Security……Tadić is also strongly condemning the violence, looting and burning, that ended in one death and nearly 200 injured, as well as huge material damage to the city.
“There is no justification for violence, no one must dare to justify it with a single word,” his press service said in a statement…
…Tadić went on to say that “this is not Serbia and Serbia will never be like this”.
“The state must have law and order and such violence must never happen again, anywhere,” Tadić said.
