*PRIŠTINA -- NATO will stop the so-called Guard of Tsar Lazar from 
celebrating the Kosovo battle anniversary in the province.

* The reason behind the decision are fears that risks of confrontations 
with Kosovo Albanians may occur, according to KFOR Commander Roland Kather.

“I have clearly stated that KFOR will not accept any form of 
paramilitary structure,” Kather told RTV Kosovo, according to Reuters.

He also said that KFOR was cooperating with Serbia in order to stop the 
arrival of the Serbian nationalists to Gazimestan, near Priština.

The Guard has announced a forthcoming visit on June 28, the anniversary 
of the Kosovo Battle of 1389.

The Serbian Orthodox Church also marks June 28 as the religious holiday 
of Vidovdan.  

The announcement of the arrival of the Guard has reportedly infuriated 
Albanians, already upset that Kosovo has not yet gained independence.

Reuters stated that Serbian sources in north Kosovo said dozens of 
Serbian nationalists, who came after walking for 350 kilometers, have 
already arrived in Kosovo and some were wearing military uniforms.

Kosovo Police Service (KPS) arrested several persons on Sunday in the 
northern town of Vučitrn, for delivering flyers put out by a militant 
group, the Albanian National Army (AKSH), warning of violence.

“The AKSH is here, we will wait for you with bullets,” the message in 
the flyers read.
