Monodromy operators for higher rank
  We find the explicit form of the basic monodromy operators for the case of the quantum group $\mathrm U_q(\mathcal L(\mathfrak{sl}_3))$. Expressions for the quantum Casimir elements of the quantum groups $\mathrm U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_3)$ and $\mathrm U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_3)$ are obtained as a by-product.
