British troops arrive in Kosovo boost NATO's peacekeeping mission

Released : Saturday, May 24, 2008 5:50 AM

PRISTINA, Kosovo-NATO says some 200 British peacekeepers have arrived in
Kosovo to help improve security as the government prepares to take control
of the country.

The troops are the first of 600 soldiers from the 2nd Battalion The Rifles
that will be sent to Kosovo's ethnically tense north.

Kosovo's authorities will take over from the United Nations on June 15,
almost four months after declaring independence from Serbia.

Germany, Italy and Britain each provide a battalion of around 600 troops in
reserve to back up NATO and European Union forces in the Balkans. NATO
commands 16,000 troops in Kosovo.

Saturday's deployment is the first such reinforcement from Britain in four
years. In 2004 British peacekeepers were rushed into Kosovo to quell ethnic
riots.
