WASHINGTON, Jan 5 (Reuters) - A fresh North Korean nuclear test would have "severe consequences" for the six-party process designed to persuade North Korea to abandon its atomic ambitions, the U.S. State Department said on Friday.

"If you did have another test of a nuclear device, that would have severe consequences for the viability of that political-diplomatic process -- why would they take such a step at this time?" State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters.

A protester holds banner reading "Russia" during a protest against a U.N. proposal for Kosovo's future in front of the National Assembly building in Belgrade, February 15, 2007. Serbia's newly elected parliament voted late Wednesday against a U.N. plan on the future of its breakaway province of Kosovo as a violation of the country's territorial integrity. U.N. envoy Martti Ahtisaari presented his plan to Belgrade and Pristina on February 2 after almost a year of fruitless negotiations between the two sides.
