The EU mission in Kosovo, EULEX, chief says that "all cases of ethnically motivated crimes for which there is evidence will be processed". Yves de Kermabon told Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti that the mission's prosecutors will open the case of the trade of organs taken from kidnapped Kosovo Serbs when all necessary information has been gathered. EULEX chief on "ethnic crimes" "EULEX will first carefully examine the evidence about organ trafficking in northern Albania it has received from UNMIK, and then consider what steps to take," said he. "EULEX is ready to take over information from other people, if it exists. When all the information has been gathered, our prosecutors could open this case, because it is within the mandate of our mission, and we will do it." Kermabon told the newspaper that the mission will be "very careful in these cases", as "all the facts and information needs to be gathered" to conduct them. Asked whether EULEX will process numerous cases of ethnically motivated crimes, such a the murder of Serb children in Gorazdevac, he said that the EU mission will do so with all the crimes for which there is evidence. "We are working with prosecutors from Serbia on some war crimes, but, apart from wishing to call on everyone to be careful with statements about it, I would also like to call on all those who have evidence and facts to come forward and contribute to the work on all these cases," said Kermabon.
