The European Union has condemned a weekend protest by hard-line Kosovo Albanians aimed at preventing the passage of Serbian goods across the border.

Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said the demonstrations were "completely unjustified because they go against what is a fundamental EU freedom, the freedom of movement of goods."

More than 50 people, including 31 police, were hurt in clashes with hundreds of stone-throwing protesters from the Kosovo Albanian Self-Determination movement, which opposes all contact with Serbia.

Belgrade and Pristina have been at odds since Kosovo unilaterally proclaimed independence from Serbia in 2008.

It is only a reciprocal act Mr. Mann fails to mention that Serbia doesn't allow Kosovo good to enter Serbia.

Johny,

The last time "goods" were exported from Kosova to Serbia they were the belongings of the Albanian citizens the Serbian paramilitary thugs had stolen from them after butchering them.

If you really believe the stories of organ trafficking then i have a bridge for sale: interested?
