As I type this at 10:15 Thursday evening, I am watching coverage of the tanks roll into the main street of Belgrade, Serbia where the American embassy is under attack. If you are following the news, you know that fighting is erupting in Serbia over the Kosovar move to independence.
Serbia is our neighboring country. While the fighting is some distance from us, last time the war was raging against the Kosovars, a misguided missile landed a couple of miles from us - luckily it didn't explode. To give you an idea, the Serbian border is only 45 minutes from where we live in Sofia. At the moment, the fighting in Belgrad is roughly 6 hours from us.
Please pray for peace because if this continues to escalate, tragedy is not far away. The history of these countries and the tensions that today erupt have their roots in past centuries and in questions of ethnicity and religion.
