Clark ordered Jackson to send troops to block the runway at Pristina with vehicles. The Russians had told NATO they were not going to move into Kosovo, but soon after, NATO discovered they began moving troops in and were sending plane loads of soldiers to land at Pristina. Clark was afraid the Russians would try to divide up Kosovo like Germany, and the Russians were very pro-Serb. Clark was afraid they would build up the Serbs in Northern Kosovo.
