BRITISH KFOR SOLDIERS CHECK VEHICLE OF MEMBER OF KOSOVO PROTECTION CORPS NEAR VILLAGE OF DOBRCANE,...

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Kilpatrick (L) and troops of the British First Battalion of the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment check the vehicle and identity card of Hamit Pireva (C), an ethnic Albanian member of the Kosovo Protection Corps in the village of Dobrcane on the administrative border between Kosovo and Serbia November 7, 2000. British soldiers were sent to the area seen by the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping force as a potential crossroad for weapons destined for the guerrillas, to clamp down on ethnic Albanian guerrillas operating in the boundary area inside Serbia proper, which nearly two weeks ago saw an upsurge in violence that left four Serb policemen dead.
