NATO to govern Kosovo as peacekeeping forces arrive
NATO troops will run Kosovo as police and public works to stabilize the province while a local security force and provisional government are created. The force will monitor 40,000 Yugoslav troops moving north, assist 850,000 refugees returning, disarm mines, and rebuild bridges as KFOR plans a broader presence with 7,000 Americans among 50,000 NATO troops. The Kosovo Liberation Army resists, and Yugoslav soldiers linger. Sen. John Warner calls the mission untested. Powell plan aims to deploy after a UN Security Council resolution.
