'Yugonostalgia' ... Visitors look at postcards showing late Yugoslavia’s communist leader Josip Broz Tito in the souvenir store in Belgrade, Serbia, Saturday, May 25, 2013.

Austrian Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger called Friday May 24, 2013 for an extension of the arms embargo for Syria ahead of an EU meeting on the issue, saying his country would have to rethink its U.N. peacekeeping role in the region otherwise. Austria's 377 soldiers make up the majority of the approximately 900 U.N. peacekeepers posted to the Golan Heights separating Syria and Israel.
