Herr Havel concurs.] Czech Paratroopers to Protect NATO Command in Macedonia PRAGUE, Aug 17, 2001 -- (Agence France Presse) Some 120 paratroopers from the Czech Republic will arrive in Macedonia on Friday and Saturday to ensure the protection of the headquarters of the NATO weapons collection mission, the head of army general staff said Thursday. General Jiri Sedivy told the paratroopers at a base in Chrudim, eastern Bohemia, that their mission was of key importance to the success of Operation Essential Harvest. "We can't be 100 percent sure that everybody will be willing to respect the signed agreements," said Sedivy. He called on the troops to be careful and to show discipline. Military sources said 95 percent of the troops have already served in the Balkans. NATO is sending 400 British troops to Skopje to set up the command headquarters that is expected to lead a 3,500-strong force in its mission to collect weapons surrendered by ethnic Albanian rebels.
