The Belgrade paper quotes unofficial information that said only one worker was in the building at the time of the incident, but escaped unharmed. The local media in Libya said that the missile struck a water tank on the roof, causing material damage.
The staff of the embassy is "safe" and continue with their daily activities, writes the Politika newspaper.
The Libyan media quoted "statements of citizens who live near the residence" as saying they believe the residence was likely not deliberately targeted, "because at that time, a number of missiles were fired randomly from the direction of the airport road toward other parts of the city."
At the same time, the reports noted that embassies and diplomatic missions in Tripoli are increasingly coming under attack.
On Sunday, shots were fired at a convoy of vehicles of the British embassy that was moving towards the Tunisian border. The embassy has reduced its staff, while British nationals were advised to leave the north African country.
On Saturday, the U.S. embassy staff were evacuated from Tripoli.
The AP reported that the battle for control of Tripoli's international airport began two weeks ago when Islamist-led militias - mostly from the western city of Misrata - launched a surprise assault on the airport, under control of rival militias from the western mountain town of Zintan.
Yep it’s all Serbia’s fault. They liberated Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Syria and created this mess. You cant even legislate against stupidity and you would certainly fall in this category.

Right on Rocky. High ranking Serbian officers were selling weapons to KLA during 1998/99. We beat them with their own weapons.

The Albanian allahu akbar crowd is at it again.It's the same ignorant crowd -with different user names-that was farting against gaddafi with Western propaganda of human rights and democracy which was used by the US fascists and their British and French poodles to butcher Gaddafi to death and bring the country to complete chaos and anarchy.Since you all think that Libya is a nice place what about emigrating there and live happilly ever after.

The Libyan people must be thanking the West on bended knees for the anarchy they now endure. No schools, hospitals,jobs, pensions, electricity, water, armed gangs shooting everything up non stop. .

I guess they can join Serbs in blaming all their problems on the evil US, and admit they TOO are incapable of controlling their own fate. I see the mental image of a sniveling kid crying to his mommy "its not my fault"

Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Syria, is there anywhere in the World where US interventionism has been hailed a success?Just another case of do the dirty, then cut and run.The Libyan people must be thanking the West on bended knees for the anarchy they now endure. No schools, hospitals,jobs, pensions, electricity, water, armed gangs shooting everything up non stop. So much better than Gaddafi who supplied a relatively liveable life.Pretty soon they will declare another Al Qaeda style Islamic caliphate state in Libya. Northern and western Iraq, eastern Yemen are now declared Islamic caliphate states.So much for liberal imperialism - the foreign policy of the 1890's - masquerading as 'humanitarian intervention'. Colonialism is a long time dying.
