Serbia expels ambassador in fury after Macedonia recognises Kosovo

SERBIA expelled the Macedonian ambassador yesterday, reflecting its fury over the recognition of Kosovo’s independence by its closest neighbours.

Montenegro’s envoy had already been ordered out on Thursday night.

The measures were the harshest Serbia has taken so far against 50 countries that have recognised Kosovo. The move followed announcements late on Thursday by Montenegro and Macedonia that they will establish diplomatic ties with Kosovo — the cherished former Serbian province that declared independence in February.
