This multimedia piece is a captioned slide show of the riot in Belgrade after U.S. recognition of Kosovo's declaration of independence. Angry Serbians took their fustration to the streets in protest, as well as the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, in which one office was set on fire. These nine photos depict the protest as well as the riot that was to come.
The overall slide show is successful in capturing some chaos of the riot. Slide #7, however, is the most captivating. In the midst of a blazing fire there is a perfect sillohette of an upper human torso raising his arms in cheers and triumph at the burning U.S. Embassy. Also, in what should have been moments of chaos, dots of blue light can be seen among the crowd of onlookers who are all doing their best to capture this moment with the assistance of their camera phones. This photo was definitely one of a kind.
