Russians land in Kosovo
More Russian planes are expected over the next
few days
The first Russian reinforcements for the
international peacekeeping operation have
arrived in Kosovo following Moscow's
agreement with Nato on the terms of their
deployment.
A transporter plane arrived in
Pristina, the first of at least
three expected in Tuesday,
carrying a total of 200 troops
and their military supplies.
A larger force will head for the Balkans by
ship from one of Russia's Black Sea ports.
The development follows
the largest demonstration
so far by Serbs demanding
the resignation of
President Slobodan
Milosevic in the southern
Serbian town of Leskovac.
Moscow struck a deal with
Nato on Monday to allow
the Russians to serve in
certain zones in the German,
French and American sectors,
with its own chain of command
but under overall Nato control.
Russia's attempt to extend its
sphere of operations into the
western Italian sector was
rejected.
Russia is expected to deploy up
to 3,600 troops in Kosovo and
will keep its shared role in the
running of Pristina airport.
Protest in southern Serbia
The Serbian rally in
Leskovac started as a
protest against the local
authorities on Monday
evening, but suddenly
turned into a
demonstration against
Yugoslav President
Milosevic.
An estimated 20,000
people attended the rally,
according to the Serbian
news agency Beta, and shouted
slogans calling on Mr
Milosevic to resign.
"We want change," they chanted,
and "Slobo out!"
Reservists of the Yugoslav
army among the
demonstrators reportedly
threatened to enter the local
TV station if it did not
broadcast the rally.
Police watched the march but
did not intervene.
Two more anti-Milosevic rallies
are expected to take place
later on Tuesday.
Refugee chief in Kosovo
Meanwhile, the UN High Commissioner for
Refugees, Sadako Ogata, has arrived in
Kosovo at the start of her first visit to the
province since the UNHCR resumed
operations there on 13 June.
She visited Pristina, Prizren and Pec for
talks with Serb and Albanian refugees and
K-For officials charged with their security.
In Prizren, she saw Serb families who had
sought shelter in an Orthodox monastery,
while in Pec she spoke with Albanians living
in tents provided by the UN agency.

On Friday the UNHCR made an urgent
appeal for funds for its resettlement work,
saying it only had enough cash to continue
operations for another two weeks.
Speaking in Pristina, Ms Ogata said it was
critical to continue with efforts to help
returning refugees prepare for the onset of
the harsh Balkan winter later this year.
