Serbia & Kosovo - a step back

I have been watching this weekend with an increasing feeling of uneasiness the violence in Belgrade which erupted after the Kosovan declaration of independence. Such mindless thuggery by a few does a great disservice to the majority of law abiding Serbian citizens and has set back any prospect of Serbia's entry into the union. Javier Solana has made perfectly clear that the Co-Operation Agreement with Serbia will be put on ice until the violence subsides.
