EU Withdraws from Kosovo (Weren't you people supposed to support this new nation? Oops!)

I found this article from the telegraph, posted in the middle of last night.

It's not optimistic though. The United States "backs Kosovo's independence" but with what? The United States withdrew staff from their embassy in Belgrade in fear of protest violence, followed by EU withdrawal from northern Kosovo. The EU was meant to be taking over control of stability and security in Kosovo from the United Nations, but instead they've balked at the earliest signs of violence so where does this leave Kosovo?

Ok and this time there's a picture:


U.S. and NATO forces stand guard a border checkpoint.
