Council of Europe (CoE) rapporteur Dick Marty, the author of a report that accuses incumbent Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci of involvement in organ trafficking, said on Friday (December 17th) that many countries were aware of facts related to the case.
“Numerous reports of the intelligence services, the German, British, Italian, and Greek ones, as well as reports of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were sent to various foreign ministries,” Marty said.
“They, however, gave priority to diplomatic policy, perhaps because they felt that the past should be left behind.”
Former French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who served as the first head of UNMIK, said he doubted Marty’s claims that the international community was aware of the organ trafficking. In an interview with the BBC, he called for an international investigation to be headed by EULEX.
