He is to address the UN Security Council on June 6, Brammertz's advisor Frederick Swinnen told Tanjug. Brammertz submits cooperation report to UNSC Swinnen did not want to comment on the contents of the report, nor to compare it to the one delivered in December 2010. Asked if this is the last report that the chief prosecutor will forward to the UN before the European Commission delivers its opinion on Serbia's candidacy, Swinnen said that the next report would be submitted to the UN in mid-November. “This is a semi-annual report on cooperation. Therefore, Brammertz will forward the next one in November, and present it to the UN Security Council in December,” he added. When asked to comment on the statement of former Hague Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte that she is ready to lead an independent investigation into the human organ trafficking in Kosovo under the UN auspices, Swinnen said that the Hague Tribunal could not comment on that. “The case is not in the Hague Tribunal’s jurisdiction. Therefore, the tribunal will not issue an official response. The competent authorities should reach that decision,” he pointed out. Responding to Del Ponte's statement that she did not know about the alleged destruction of the evidence pertaining to the human organ trafficking in Kosovo which was done during her tenure, Swinnen said that the fact was that the evidence was destroyed in 2005.
