March to Slatina | Kosovo 1999

Song: Moralny Kodex - I Don’t Care In a surprise move during the final days of the Kosovo War, Russian troops entered Kosovo on June 12, 1999, and seized Pristina International Airport just hours before NATO peacekeepers arrived. The maneuver, carried out by 200 Russian soldiers redeployed from Bosnia, caught NATO off guard and led to a tense standoff between Russian and NATO forces, particularly British troops under General Mike Jackson. Russia aimed to assert its influence in the post-war settlement and support its Serbian ally, but ultimately failed to secure a separate occupation sector. After negotiations, Russian troops joined the NATO-led KFOR mission under unified command.
