Belgrade - Serbia ordered its ambassador in Washington to leave the United States as a counter measure to US recognition of Kosovo independence, Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica told parliament on Monday.

"The government of Serbia ordered that the ambassador of Serbia in Washington urgently withdraw to Belgrade," Kostunica said.

"That is the first urgent measure of the government which will be implemented in all countries that recognise unilateral independence" of Kosovo, he added.

The US decision to formally recognise an independent Kosovo "cannot make the fake state real, but it showed to the entire world the real face of the US policy of forcing" a solution, Kostunica said at an emergency session of the parliament.
