Occultations of stars brighter than 15m by largest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are predicted. Search was performed using the following catalogues: Hipparcos (Cat. ; Tycho2 (Cat. ) with coordinates of 2838666 stars taken from UCAC2 (Herald, 2003); UCAC2 (Zacharias et al., 2003, Cat. ) with 16356096 stars between 12.00 and 14.99mag to the north from -45{deg} declination. Predictions were made for 17 largest numbered transneptunian asteroids and 4 known binary Kuiper Belt objects. 67 events occuring at solar elongation of 30{deg} and more are selected. Observations of these occultations by all available means are extremely important since they can give unique information about the size of TNOs and improve their orbits dramatically.
