Russian, US Defense Ministers Arrive in Helsinki for Talks 　　Russian Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev and US Defense Secretary William Cohen arrived in Helsinki on June 16 for talks to solve a dispute between the two countries over Russia's peacekeeping role in the war-battered Yugoslav province of Kosovo. 　　Upon his arrival, Sergeyev told reporters that he had instructions from Russian President Boris Yeltsin that all unsettled issues involving the peacekeeping mission in Kosovo be settled in line with the UN resolution on Kosovo. 　　He said that all differences over Russia's advance troops in Kosovo had been eliminated in negotiations between Russian and NATO officers and it was unnecessary for the West to be worried over the presence of the Russian troops in Pristina, capital of Kosovo. 　　Sergeyev said he believed that the Helsinki talks would be constructive and all kinds of differences between the two sides could be removed ahead of a meeting between Yeltsin and US 　　President Bill Clinton Sunday at the G-8 summit in Germany so that they could focus their discussions on their two countries' strategic partnership. 　　Before leaving Washington for the Finnish capital, Cohen said the talks on options on Russia's part in Kosovo peacekeeping had made much headway and the United States would study the options in line with the two basic principles: a unified command and no separate sector for Russia. 　　The two defense ministers will meet on June 16 afternoon after a meeting between Cohen and Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, who met Sergeyev in the morning.
