Serb forces hailed the arrival of Russia's 400 peacekeeping troops, officially under U.N. command, as friends and saviors. Crowds plied the Russian troops with plum brandy and waved the three-fingered Serbian salute for the Orthodox trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost -- or church, country and army, as some claim. "When you get in trouble with the Serbs, please turn to us before raising hell," snapped Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vitaly Churkin at the Bonn gathering.
