Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic says the Turskish decision to release Yusuf Sonmez was a bad message to all those who had committed crimes. Sonmez is a surgeon suspected of involvement in illegal human organ trafficking in Kosovo. Turkish organ case decision criticized Bogdanovic told Tanjug the decision undermines the EU Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) efforts to investigate the organ trafficking case related to a Pristina private clinic called Medicus. "This decision is a bad message to all those who have committed crimes, saying that they can be abolished in a way, regardless of the fact that it allows EULEX prosecutors to go to Turkey and conduct an inquiry," Bogdanovic stated. The Turkish authorities should not treat a serious case like that in such a way, he added. Sonmez was arrested and then released, and Turkish courts will decide in less than two weeks if the case will see trial, said reports from Istanbul. In Pristina, an EU mission in Kosovo, EULEX spokesperson, said that "Sonmez remains a suspect in the Medicus case". "The Kosovo Special Prosecution continues to cooperate closely with Turkish judiciary authorities in the investigation underway in Kosovo," said Irina Gudeljevic.
