London - Britain is to send 60 RUC officers to help keep order in Kosovo, British Prime Minister Tony Blair will announce today.
Mr Blair left the summit on Balkans reconstruction and stability in Sarajevo for Pristina last night, where he met the KFor commander, Gen Sir Mike Jackson, and members of the 10,400-strong British peacekeeping contingent.
The 60 RUC men have been chosen to join the UN contingent because they are accustomed to routinely carrying weapons, patrolling with the military, and working with divided communities.
