A local TV station reported that a Danish KFOR patrol was excessively rough in it's search of the Kosovo Serb village of Matica (near Zvecan), "demolishing houses and leaving chaos". The villagers are irate, particularly since the searches were carried out on the eve of major Orthodox holidays. Meanwhile, over 800 Minnesota National Guard soldiers are beginning their KFOR peacekeeping rotation. They will be in Kosovo by the end of February. - Adam Geibel
