BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro (AP) -- Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu said Monday that Russia plans to set up two tent camps for refugees in Serbia-Montenegro and a temporary hospital to help in the aftermath of the violence last week in Kosovo.

Shoigu said after talks in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia-Montenegro, that the camps, each able to hold 1,000 people, will be equipped with food and a first-aid center.

Shoigu said he was sent to the Balkans by President Vladimir Putin to see "what can be done to help those trying to survive."

The hospital, to be run by the Emergency Situations Ministry, can care for about 600 people. A Russian plane, carrying emergency aid, will also be dispatched in the next few days, Shoigu told reporters.

This is only beggining. It would be better if Russia ask and get permission from UNSEC to send Spetznaz in.

I am so happy that the 90 day bombing campaign and intervention in Kosovo accomplished so much. (NOT)
