At the end of the day they have no one but themselves to blame. It was die hard uber Serbian nationalism which destroyed Yugoslavia by up setting the ethnic balance of the country. Slobo's moves to end the autonomous status for both Voyvodina and Kosovo meant that Serbia would always have more then 50% of any parliament vote.

The other republics just couldn't accept Serbia so dominating Yugoslavia and running it so exclusively in their interests instead of Yugoslavia's greater national interests. This was the same problem the pre-WW2 Kingdom of Jugoslavia (the name back then) had and that's exactly why Tito made Voyvodina (the northern part of Serbia which is mostly ethnic Hungarians) and Kosovo (southwest Serbia which is mostly Albanian) politically separate. It was designed to maintain a balance of power between the ethnic groups and the Serbs totally destroyed that resulting in succession and civil war.

a charred body has been found inside the embassy

[Lord Avalon]

The fires raged for half an hour, and when firemen finally managed to get inside the building they found a charred body.

The body has not been identified, though US officials said all embassy staff had been accounted for.

So, a rioter?

Voyvodina has a majority Serbs and has had for centuries. It was separated from Serbia proper in order to give ethnic Hungarians more voice in a smaller government. For example (numbers puled outta my ass) if there's a half million Hungarians, they'll have more say in an region that has two million people as opposed to a region of twenty million people.

Or an American tourist. A Serb applying for a visa. The Fed Ex guy. The kid of an employee showing up to surprise Daddy. At any rate, some poor soul.

The embassy was closed at the time. Per CNN.com, "The only Americans at the embassy during the violence were Marines, who are all said to be accounted for."

Probably some Serb who passed out in a drunken stupor after lighting the building on fire.

The women are just in frenzy. The guy(s) who are following and filming them aren't with them, and they are teasing them "you sure you got your number?" "****ing yeah, Kosovo is Serbia!" "you girls are heroes" etc.

Let's hope they don't start world war III by looting
