They discussed ways to establish "the full truth about the trafficking of human organs in Kosovo". CoE official backs Serbia's organ probe efforts CoE Rapporteur Dick Marty previously in his report named members of the ethnic Albanian KLA as perpetrators of the atrocities, while the victims are believed to have been Serb and other civilians kidnapped in the province in 1999 and 2000. Ljajic 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, Ljajic said. "Serbia has the full moral right to ask for an investigation because it has fulfilled most of its obligations towards the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, including the arrest and extradition of Ratko Mladic," Ljajic 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. He also pointed to the importance and necessity of protection of potential witnesses in the process. Hammarberg and Ljajic in Belgrade on Wednesday (Tanjug)
