t think my post thru, partially because of my dislike for
the leadership of Russia and Serbia...
Robert,

That makes two of us. As far as I am concerned, Milsovic is a mad
beast, and Russians, Greeks or whoever that support his policy
as as bad as he is.

As for Russians, even if they arrive in Pristina by mid-night, so
what. There are 150 Russian troops with a few trucks. By tomorrow,
Kosovo will be under NATO protection with 50,000 man and plenty of
armor. What 150 man can do? Steal the march on NATO? No way.

Top Officer Threatens To Bypass
NATO Over Kosovo Sector

MOSCOW, Jun 11, 1999 -- (Agence France
Presse) Moscow's top military negotiator on
Kosovo threatened Friday to bypass NATO and
negotiate a Russian-controlled sector directly with
Belgrade if the Atlantic alliance refuses to agree
one.

Gen. Leonid Ivashov said Moscow would not be
bullied into placing Russian forces under a unified
Kosovo peace force command under a NATO
general, Britain's Sir Mike Jackson.

"We are not going to beg the United States to give
us a specific sector," Interfax quoted Ivashov, a
leading anti-NATO hawk within the defence
ministry, as saying.

"If we do not reach an agreement (with the
Americans), we will work out with Yugoslavia the
sector we will control," he said. ((c) 1999 Agence
