| Austrian police say European capitals have been warned of possible attack |
|
 Vienna police said on Saturday a "friendly" intelligence service had warned European capitals of the possibility of a shooting or bomb attack before New Year, prompting police across the continent to increase security measures. "Several possible names of potential attackers were mentioned, which were checked, and the investigation based on (these checks) has so far yielded no concrete results," Vienna police said in a statement, some six weeks after 130 people were killed in Islamist bombing and shooting attacks in Paris. "In the days before Christmas a warning was sent out by a friendly (intelligence) service to numerous European capitals, saying that it could come to an attack involving explosives or a shooting between Christmas and the New Year in crowded spaces." The police asked Austrians for their understanding of the need for more security controls.

On Dec. 14 Serbia launched accession talks with EU authorities, during which it will be under pressure to demonstrate progress in dismantling a legacy of corruption and organised crime that gained a strong foothold in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. |
