Moscow, Sept. 20 (Tanjug) - The command of the Russian military contingent in Kosovo-Metohija expressed on Monday doubts in the full demilitarization of the KLA because new arms depots are constantly being uncovered in Serbia's southern province.

In an interview to Itar-Tass given after the deadline for the demilitarization of KLA expired, the political advisor at the headquarters of the Russian peacekeeping contingent within KFOR, Vladimir Ulasyevich, strongly criticized plans for the transformation of KLA into some kind of Kosovo Corps which would, allegedly, act only in emergency situations.

Ulasyevich set out that the Russian leadership is specially dissatisfied that the weapons handed over by the ethnic Albanian separatists are not being destroyed but, quite irrationally, kept in storage.
