No wonder the serbs in Vienna went bananas on Sunday. lol Violence erupts at Kosovo protestArticle from: Reuters Vienna February 25, 2008 04:45am FOUR people were arrested and two policemen were injured today when a protest in the Austrian capital against the secession of Kosovo turned violent, police said. The protest began when about 6000 demonstrators gathered on Vienna's historic Heldenplatz in the city centre, police said. Local media showed protesters waving Serbian flags, chanting "Serbia, Serbia" and burning a US flag. Organisers put the turnout at 10,000. About 600 people then split off from the main protest and began marching towards the US embassy. Violence broke out when they realised the area was sealed of by police and they vented their anger at nearby restaurants and shops, Vienna police spokesman Manfred Simettinger said. "They threw bottles, stones and cans, and smashed a number of shop and restaurant windows," Mr Simettinger said. "Police had to use pepper spray on some occasions." Protesters also burnt and urinated on an Albanian flag, a witness said. Kosovo, mainly populated by ethnic Albanians, declared independence from Serbia a week ago. Austrian authorities estimate that about 300,000 people of Serbian descent live in Austria, which has a population of about 8 million.
