PRISTINA, Aug 29 (Hina) - Several thousand Kosovo Albanians from Orahovac, in southern Kosovo, have been blocking roads leading to the town for the seventh day in a row in order to prevent the deployment of Russian Kosovo Force (KFOR)
troops in the town. The protesters said they would remove their trucks, buses, tractors and other vehicles the roads have been blocked with only after they received assurances from NATO that the Russian troops would not be deployed in Orahovac. US Ambassador at the UN Richard Holbrooke and KFOR commander Gen. Michael Jackson said in Pristina on Sunday the dispute in Orahovac would be resolved soon.(hina) rml
