BELGRADE -- Zoran Vujović, 21, has been identified as the victim in Thursday's fire at the U.S. embassy in Belgrade.
Vujović, whose family now resides in Novi Sad, was a Kosovo Serb, forced out of the province when he was 12 years old. His identity was determined through DNA analysis, a spokesman for a district court in Belgrade said.
The exact cause and circumstances of his death were not given, according to agencies' reports. Vujović's charred body was recovered from the embassy, which was vandalized and set on fire Thursday, after several hundred rioters attacked the building, while a mass peaceful rally was ongoing in Belgrade.
The post mortem, conducted at the Belgrade military clinic, VMA, took 12 hours Friday. But the identity could not be confirmed, since even the bones of the victim's arms and legs were completely burned, reports say.
He was first identified by his father, Milan Vujović, who recognized some of the personal belongings that were recovered, including his son's gold chain. The DNA analysis later confirmed this.
His parents reported Vujović missing late Thursday. On Friday, the victim's father was looking for his son in MUP detention facilities, thinking that he may have been detained during the unrest.
The Vujović family were expelled from Čaglavica, near Priština, in July 1999.
Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie is a Canadian with an opinion re U.S. foreign policy --- nothing unusual there --- but you're suggesting having him deported from Canada, to.......?
If it is done for political purposes yes.”
So, someone who sets a house on fire because they hate the people living there is not a terrorist, but someone who burns an empty building that belongs to the U.S. govt, because they’re pissed off, is a terrorist?
Actually, since the embassies are part of he State Dept., which is a den of America hating commies .....
There is a huge difference between throwing a roll of toilet paper into a tree and setting a U.S. Embassy on fire. The latter was an act of violence in an effort to coerce and intimidate the United States. By law and definition, it is an act of terrorism.
Yup, and all our former aides who disagree with this as well as the majority of Republican conservatives who disagree with us creating a Muslim nation in Europe....deport them as well. It’ll give us more room to house our illegal immigrants.
Oh, come on. You did more than “disagree.” You called the U.S. a “terrorist country” in your post 82.
You said that the US is a terrorist country...is that not hate? The same as the folks in Serbia who hate the folks in Kosovo? Are you proud to be an American? Doesn’t sound like it me based on your comments.
“By law and definition, it is an act of terrorism.”
Since when are we working off of laws? We broke several international laws by giving someone else’s land to the Muzzies.
What would your reacton be if they took away Texas and gave it to Mexico overnight? What the heck would you do when a foreign power takes away a piece of your land and gives it to a neighboring country/Albania? Think first before you say it and don't say the usual BS crap that ebbs from "Patriotic" Americans.."they bombed and terrorized the US Embassy". Give a rationale response how you would react. My great great grandparents were forced out of Kosovo for being Orthodox and I don't like it one bit Kosovo was stripped from Serbia. The Serbs will just have to wait and take it back. That will happen when we (USA) takes out Iran in a ground war. The EU will not have the stomach to protect the muslims of Albania *currently Kosovo*
In the meantime the Albanians living in Kosovo are honoring one of their KLA terrorists-murderers of women and children in Prishtina - jashari

And the SOROS FUNDED “art” mavens in Belgrade got what they deserved too when they attempted to create a pop art display of this murderer—imagine Osama Bin Laden on diplayed as a pop cult hero

The latter was an act of violence in an effort to coerce and intimidate the United States. By law and definition, it is an act of terrorism.”
“BELGRADE, Serbia — Angry Serbs protesting Kosovo’s independence stormed the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade on Thursday night and set it on fire, as the fringe of a large and generally peaceful demonstration sponsored by the Serbian government turned violent.”
There must have been one level headed person in the mob who said “Let’s burn the embassy to coerce and intimidate the United States” and you must have been there and heard him,
otherwise you wouldn’t be stating that as a fact.
Listen, I said IN THIS CASE, the US were playing the role of the terrorists, in that we aid them, fight along side them, and prior to Serbia trying to negotiate a truce of some sort, whispered in their ear that they would be independent regardless the outcome of those talks. We made this, and it will bite us in the ass. As a Serbian-American, I do hope someone comes to aid Serbia. Although they aided us in WWI and WWII, we seem to have forgotten that. If it ends up being Russia that comes to their rescue, so be it. It is not an American issue, nor should it ever have been. According to you, Serbian-Americans upset over this need to leave? A shame so many Americans have forgotten their history.

Look up a list of Albanian-Americans to see just how much your new best friends have contributed to our society in comparison.....Joe DioGuardi and the Belushi brothers. Where would we have been without them!
You said that the US is a terrorist country...is that not hate?”
Oh Oh, you’ve committed a hate crime now.
There used to be a great Albanian restaurant in Redondo Beach, south of here. I loved the food, not sure if it’s still there. Maybe the Serbians ran them off...;^) I’ll ask around.
Oh, and as a non-hyphenated American, I know my history.
Operation Halyard: During the summer of 1944 approximately 1, 000 U.S. airmen bailed out over German-occupied Yugoslavia, a significant number of them landing in Serbia. In a series of daylight and night airlifts, a team made up of troops of General Mihailovic’s Royal Yugoslav Army in the Homeland and the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.) evacuated over 300 U.S. airmen from the village of Pranjani. The rescue of the U.S. airmen involved small unit actions against German troops and put at risk entire Serb villages that sheltered the U.S. personnel. U.S. airmen bear testimony to the significant sacrifices of local Serb villagers who fed, cared for and protected them, in some cases up to six months. The Halyard Mission is considered one of the greatest rescues of American airmen from behind enemy lines in the history of warfare.
They knew that no one was there.
Condi knew that they were going to get a reaction from Serbs, after having ripped off a piece of Serbia's territory and given it to Albanians. The State Department expected this, so they sent staff home, and let some Serbs take out their frustration on an empty US building -- and then acted "outraged", "issuing condemnations". This was all a State Dept. PR game --and still is.
Non-hyphenated? Your family ancestors came from America?!? The only history you’ve proven to have knowledge of is the where the good Albanian restaurants in your neighborhood used to be.
“The KLA was the Heroin running operation for AQ. They ran it from Trashcanistan poppy fields to Europe so Clinton had us supporting AQ.”
“W” has us supporting them why, exactly?
Isn’t part of being a true patriot a willingness to confront your government when what it is doing is wrong. For example, one of the reasons that Edmond Burke is so well loved here in the United States is that he gave speaches on the floor of the House of Commons saying that the British government was wrong to fight against the American Colonials. Many of us are simply saying that what the United States is doing to Serbia is wrong. If one is never willing to question your country then eventually you will find yourself in the same position as those patriotic German soldiers who ended up fighting for Hitler.
