MONTREAL - Serbian nationalists gathered Sunday outside the U.S. consulate in Montreal to protest Kosovo's declaration of independence.

Close to 200 demonstrators marched through downtown Montreal before holding a vocal rally in front of the consulate.

Several speakers criticized countries like the U.S., France and Germany for quickly endorsing Kosovo's break from Serbia last week.

They called on Canada to avoid doing the same, warning it could embolden Quebec sovereigntists.

Canada has so far avoided taking a stand on the issue.

The protest came a day after similarly peaceful event Saturday in Toronto, which drew upward of 2,000 people.

More protests are planned next weekend in Ottawa, Edmonton and Calgary.
