Following the Kosovo War, from 12 to 26 June 1999 there was a brief but tense standoff between NATO and the Russian Kosovo Force (KFOR) in which Russian troops occupied the airport. After securing an agreement by which Russian forces would be integrated into peacekeeping duties, independent of NATO, Pristina Airport was reactivated as a military airport on 15 October 1999 and then started to operate international air transport to several European cities. During that period of time the Russian KFOR along with other NATO forces were in charge for security of the airport. Airport Pristina initially began its operations with 45 employees.
------------ Russian troops occupied the airport ------------ And NATO troops ocupied Kosovo.And they are still persisting on an ilegal proclamation of independance. But you will not see that this way...so it's a waste of time to talk about it... It is one thing to sand UN troops in a CIVIL war to try to make peace and totaly another thing to ilegaly bomb country and ocupay part of it's teritory, put military bases and recognize ilegal independance.
How many times do I have to say that I disagree with Kosovo's independence and that Spain hasn't recognised it?
Do you actually pay attention to what people say? En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
