EU diplomats attend Belgrade march amid violent clashes

EUObserver reported that several EU diplomats came out in support of Belgrade Gay Pride on the 10 October 2010 as nationalist gangs battled police and vandalised property a few blocks away in the Serb capital.

Right-wing extremist Serb soccer hooligans sabotaged a national qualifier against Italy on the 12 October 2010 in the city of Genoa. Many believe the hooligans to be part of an organized movement to ruin Serbia's reputation in Europe.
