The USA embassy in Belgrade was atacked and set on fire. Serbia's Minister for Kosovo Slobodan Samardzic said it was the USA was to blame because Kosovo declared its independence the USA backed Kosovo. Serbia got control of the problem that night. Some of the USA people have been "evacuated" or in a less flammatory way sent home as there not really need there and its a funny way to send message to Serbia to stop steering there pot.
looks like Serbia is mad at Kosovo and some Serbia's are taking it out on the USA. People like to blame the USA for there problems even if the USA dint do anything to do with them. (we did in this one kinda)
"The United States has today formally recognized Kosovo as a sovereign and independent state." Secretary Condoleezza Rice on Feb. 18 2008
From the USA department of sate web sight.
So for whats it worth its going to safe if you stay out of major city's in Serbia. For the most part anyway. Its political junk and grandstanding its all part of the game. If you think running with UK plates are bad try running with USA plates hehe. Or gust put your plates in your bags and make up some German ones (or any one else staying out of this mess) run your numbers on them no one will know or care. May want to swich them back crossing borders.
