The incident at the Pristina airport was a military confrontation between the forces of Russia and NATO on 12 June 1999, following the end of the Kosovo War. Russian troops unexpectedly occupied the airport ahead of a planned NATO deployment, creating a tense stand-off. The conflict was resolved through a peaceful agreement, but also due to the potential threat posed by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which opposed the Russian presence and could have escalated the situation further.
