A U.N. war crimes tribunal on Thursday acquitted the former prime minister of Kosovo Ramush Haradinaj and two of his former Kosovo Liberation Army comrades for the second time of murdering and torturing Serbs and their supporters in Kosovo's war for independence. Serbian officials and media had been anticipating for days that Haradinaj would be acquitted less than two weeks after two Croatian generals were cleared of charges of killing and deporting Serbs in a 1995 military blitz, a judgment that sparked rage in Belgrade, where many see the tribunal as anti-Serb.

Followers of the far-right Serbian Radical Party at a protest Friday in the capital Belgrade also demanded the removal from power of Serbia's government and president because of their support for the Balkan country's integration into the European Union. Party official Nemanja Sarovic says Serbia should turn instead toward Russia, Latin America and "other traditional friends." Many in Serbia are furious that the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, acquitted former Kosovo PM Ramush Haradinaj on Thursday. The court also recently overturned the conviction of two Croatian generals for crimes against Serbs.
