BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) Serbian police say they have detained one person suspected in a spate of attacks on Albanian-owned businesses in northern Serbia after a soccer brawl this week at a game between Serbia and Albania.
Police said Friday they are searching for other suspects involved in several attacks on bakeries, fast-food stands and other businesses owned by the country's minority ethnic Albanians. Senior official Aleksandar Nikolic says the attacks ''will not be tolerated.''
Serbia has a history of hooligan violence. Tuesday's European Championship qualifier was suspended after a drone flew an Albanian banner over a soccer stadium in Belgrade, igniting a clash on the field.
The banner incident triggered a diplomatic row between the two Balkan rivals, who disagree over the independence of Kosovo, a former Serbian province of mostly ethnic Albanians.
