PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, April 25 (AFP) - A six-truck convoy
carrying around 100 tonnes of Greek humanitarian aid for Kosovo
arrived in the provincial capital Pristina Sunday.
The convoy arrived shortly after 1:00 p.m. (1100 GMT), an AFP
reporter said.
It was the first humanitarian aid donated by a foreign
government aimed at displaced persons inside Kosovo.
Setting off from Salonica in northern Greece, the convoy was
accompanied from the Macedonian border to Pristina by the Greek
ambassador in Belgrade, Panayotis Vlassopoulos.
The aid came after an accord between Athens and Belgrade reached
during a visit by Alexis Rondos, Greece's special envoy to Kosovo,
Vlassopoulos told AFP.
The convoy, carrying mostly food and medicine, was taken to
Pristina hospital, from where it would be distributed according to
needs.
Meanwhile, the Greek branch of aid organisation Medecins du
Monde (Doctors of the World) said its humanitarian convoy returned
safely to Skopje Sunday after delivering supplies to Pristina.
