BELGRADE, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. embassy in Serbia ordered on Friday the departure of support staff and dependents of diplomats after a mob attacked the mission the day before, a spokeswoman said.

"The ambassador and core staff will remain in Belgrade," she added. The embassy would reopen on Tuesday after repairs on the building, parts of which were set on fire.
