Sinn Fein has criticised Britain's decision to send 60 RUC officers to Kosovo as part of a peace-keeping force. "Nationalists find it offensive that the RUC is being described as the best police force to police a divided society," the party's chief whip, Mr Alex Maskey, told BBC radio.
Mr Ken Maginnis, of the Ulster Unionist Party, said the RUC was well equipped to police Kosovo as a result of its "vast experience" in policing Northern Ireland.
