Incident at Pristina airport

The move to Pristina was an operation of the Russian army after the end of the Kosovo war.

After Russia and NATO could not agree on a private Russian sector in Kosovo within the framework of the planned KFOR peacekeeping force, occupied Russian paratroopers in the night of June 12, 1999 unexpectedly the Pristina airport.

So you surprised the deployment of KFOR. The U.S. General Wesley Clark as Supreme Allied Commander Europe wanted to take action against the Russian troops, the British officers Captain James Blount and Lieutenant General Sir Mike Jackson, Clark's deputy and KFOR commander, prevented that this command has been executed.
