Incident at Pristina airport
A confrontation between Russian forces and NATO forces over the Pristina International Airport (Russian Марш-бросок на Приштину Marsch-brosok na Prischtinu or shorter Бросок на Приштину Brosok na Prischtinu) occurred on 12 June 1999, in the aftermath of the Kosovo War. Russian troops occupied the airport ahead of a NATO deployment, resulting in a tense stand-off, which was resolved peacefully.
