CoE official Thomas Hammarberg supports Serbia’s efforts on Kosovo organ allegations

Serbian Labor Minister Rasim Ljajić conferred on Wednesday in Belgrade with Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg.

They discussed ways to establish “the full truth about the trafficking of human organs in Kosovo”.

Ljajić informed Hammarberg that Serbia is requiring a comprehensive and independent investigation under the auspices of the United Nations. Such an approach is essential so that UN investigators would have jurisdiction in the territory of Albania as well, Ljajić said.

Hammarberg expressed his full support to Serbia’s efforts aimed at launching a comprehensive investigation into circumstances related to trafficking in human organs in Kosovo.
