ByDusanStojanovic The Associated Press BELGRADE,SERBIA Serbian authoritiesorderedtheurgent evacuation of 12 villages and towns along the raging Sava River on Monday, including onewheresoldiers,policeand volunteershavebeenworking around the clock to protect Serbia's main power plant. Thecoal-firedNikolaTesla power plant, which supplies electricity for half of Serbia and most of Belgrade, lies in the flood-hit town of Ob- renovac, 20 kilometers (16 miles) upstream of the cap- ital. Emergency crews have so far defended the power plant by building high walls of sandbags but it's not clear thosewillwithstandtheforce of an upcoming river surge. Serbian police chief Nebo- jsa Stefanovic ordered the town completely evacuated of civilians, along with 11 vil- lages along the Sava. Some 300 people were evacuated from Obrenovac by helicop- ter Monday, authorities said. Serbia and Bosnia are struggling with the worst flooding in southeastern Europe in more than a cen- tury. At least 35 people have died in five days of flooding caused by unprecedented torrential rain. Entire towns and villages are underwa- ter, thousands of hills have crumpled into landslides and tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes. The death toll is expected to rise further as floodwaters recede after the worst rain- fall in 120 years of records. The situation in Obreno- vac was critical Monday, said Predrag Maric, a Serbian emergency official. The Sava flood wave was expected to begin to reach Obrenovac and Belgrade later Monday and peak by Wednesday. Before Monday's order, 7,800 people were already evacuated from the town, wheremanyhomesweresub- merged. But some 2,000 peo- plewerestillbelievedtrapped in the higher floors of build- ings there. Flood surge threatens Serbian power plant BALKANS By Vladimir Isachenkov The Associated Press MOSCOW In what could be an attempt to ease tensions with the West and avoid more sanctions, President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops deployed near Ukraine to return to their home bases Monday. Putin also praised the launchofadialoguebetween Ukraine's government and its opponents even as fight- ing continued in parts of the country ahead of Sunday's presidential election. The seemingly concilia- tory approach suggested thatPutinmaybelievehehas achievedhiskeygoalofmain- taining Russian influence over eastern Ukraine with- out having to send in troops. Russia still wants guar- antees that Ukraine will not join NATO and will conduct constitutional reforms to givebroaderpowerstoitsre- gions, something that would allowMoscowtomaintainits cloutintheRussian-speaking eastthatformstheindustrial heartland.Thecontinuedun- rest in the east is serving Pu- tin by making it difficult for the government in Kiev to consolidate its control in the region. Putin specifically ordered Defense Minister Sergei Shoigutopullbacktheforces involved in the "planned spring drills" in the Rostov, Belgorod and Bryansk re- gions to their home bases, the Kremlin said. The order appears to go further than a similar statement by the Russian leader two weeks ago that troops were being pulled back from the border to shooting ranges. The three regions bor- der Ukraine, and the with- drawal of troops deployed there would signal a genuine attempt by Moscow to de-es- calate the worst crisis in its relations with the West since the Cold War. It also would be easily verifiable by West- ern intelligence. The Kremlin statement didn't say how many troops would be pulled out or spec- ify how quick the withdrawal would be. NATO has esti- matedthatRussiahas40,000 troopsarrayedalongthebor- der with Ukraine. The U.S. and NATO said they saw no sign of a pullout after Putin's earlier claim of a withdrawal. On Monday, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen re- iterated that the military al- liance has "not seen any evi- denceatallthattheRussians have started withdrawal of troops from the Ukrainian border." He said that NATO re- mains open to a political di- alogue with Moscow and has proposed holding a meeting at the NATO-Russia Council next week. In Washington, spokes- men for the White House andthePentagonsaidU.S.of- ficials have not yet seen any sign of a Russian troop pull- back. Press secretary Jay Carney said if Russia had pulled its troops back, the U.S. would know and would be able to confirm it publicly. Pavel Felgenhauer, an in- dependent Moscow-based military analyst, said a pull- out would be a sign that Pu- tin has decided not to send troops to Ukraine, at least for now. "They think that the Ukrainian government won't be able to consoli- date despite the presiden- tial election, and the eco- nomic, political and social crisis will escalate," Fel- genhauer said on Dozhd TV. "They see no need to take the risky move of in- vasion, which would trig- ger serious sanctions."
