ALBANIA/KOSOVO: GERMAN NATO TROOPS ENTER KOSOVO

(13 Jun 1999) Natural Sound A convoy of German NATO infantry set off for Kosovo from a base outside Kukes in Albania on Sunday morning. As the unit passed ethnic Albanian refugees in Kukes they were greeted with cheering. The German infantry unit was on its way to join British, French and Italian NATO troops in the war-torn province. Later in the day, the German troops entered the southern Kosovo town of Prizren. There they were met by crowds of cheering Kosovars who could barely contain their excitement at the arrival of the peacekeepers. The troops came with tanks, armoured personnel carriers, heavy trucks and bridge-laying equipment. Another German contingent, arriving in Prizren from Macedonia in the early hours of Sunday, were also greeted by enthusiastic crowds who waved, cheered and threw flowers at the convoy. Thousands of troops from other NATO countries are continuing to flood into Kosovo from Macedonia. The deployment, which started at daybreak on Saturday, begins a massive operation to both restore political stability and a devastated infrastructure to the war-torn southern Yugoslav province.
