RE: Russians in Kosovo PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) - A top British military official tried angry words and body language, but failed Sunday to persuade Russian soldiers to allow British troops to enter the airport in the capital of Kosovo. Control of the Pristina airport has become an unexpectedly tense issue since early Saturday, when Russian troops moved into the city ahead of British peacekeepers. The Russians settled at the airport, which was supposed be the headquarters for the international peacekeeping operation. Russia had been expected to take part in the Kosovo peacekeeping operation, but its role and commander have been the subject of delicate discussion. On Sunday, a Russian armored personnel carrier blocked the road to the airport as a British contingent of 17 vehicles and about 50 soldiers arrived Sunday. British Brigadier Adrian Freer, the commander of the units that led the way into Kosovo early Saturday, launched into a tirade at the Russians. ''What the hell are you doing here? Get on to your commanders and get out of here now,'' Freer shouted. Then he pulled down the collar of his uniform shirt to reveal Russian Airborne Division T-shirt. ''I spoke in English and I'm not sure if he fully understood me, but my body language was pretty clear,'' Freer was quoted as saying by pool reports. He said he had worn the T-shirt especially to show Russian soldiers that he wanted to be regarded as a friend rather than as a competitor. The Russians' actions have raised concerns that they plan to create a de-facto Serbian sector in Kosovo. The province's minority ethnic Serbs regard Russians as more sympathetic to their concerns than the NATO-dominated peacekeeping force. The Russian soldiers at the airport roadblock made life far easier for Serbs than for the British. Serb vehicles were let through with no restriction, many of the trucks carrying household goods and furniture, driven by Serb soldiers who laughed and jeered as they passed the British. On Sunday afternoon, the British gave up on the day's attempts to get to the airport. President Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin talked by telephone about Russia's role in Kosovo and NATO supreme European commander Gen. Wesley Clark attempted to play down the airport disagreement. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Latest News. . . U.S. Plays Down Russian Presence In Kosovo dailynews.yahoo.com
