Serbs who had remained in Pristina welcomed them as heroes, as if they were coming for the release of Serbs.
In this case, there was even gunshots and flares.
The Russian contingent had come to Kosovo from Bosnia through Serbia.
Russian troops had caught everyone by surprise, including Russian Foreign Minister Ivan Ivanov.
He told the media he had ordered troops to leave Kosovo's capital.
At this time many Albanians who had remained in their homes in Pristina had not dared to leave. They remained until NATO forces arrived to be released from the occupation.
