Hashim Thaci said he would form a new government in Kosovo by the end of January, and addressed grave accusations against him. The Kosovo Albanian prime minister and former member of the KLA has been named in the Council of Europe (CoE) rapporteur Dick Marty's report as responsible for kidnapping Serb civilians in the province in order to remove their body parts and sell them in the black market. Thaci says "anti-independence network" out to get him Thaci says Marty's charges against him "will not hold him back", and that the accusations had been launched by a "network which opposes Kosovo's independence". In an interview with the Pristina-based daily Express - his first since the shocking revelations emerged last week - Thaci said he was "accustomed to such accusations". Thaci believes that "Marty was not alone in this process, but rather that there was an 'anti-independence club' behind him". Asked if there was an "international plan for his elimination", Thaci only said he enjoys "fantastic cooperation with the international community". According to Thaci, Dick Marty's accusations had therefore "also been addressed against the United States and other Western friends". The outgoing Kosovo Albanian PM said "everything had been planned to deal a blow to the Kosovo state and its war for freedom" "I'm ready to go to the end, not only politically but also legally," Thaci said. Thaci also said he was ready to meet with President Boris Tadic, under the auspices of the EU, "in the interest of both countries", and in order to contribute to building new relations "between Kosovo and Serbia". "Tadic is the legitimate representative of Serbia, and I won the most votes in Kosovo. Such a meeting would be healthy for our European future," explained Thaci. In his reaction to the organ trafficking report last week, the Serbian president also expressed his readiness to meet with Thaci. Hashim Thaci (Beta)
