State secretary dismisses accusations The Ministry for Kosovo state secretary commented on the article by saying that it was politically motivated. "These accusations are utterly nonsensical and baseless, and always come at a time when I'm increasingly criticizing the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, or when I speak about the need to - such as is the case now with Dick Marty's report on human organ trafficking in Kosovo - clear up crimes," said Ivanovic. The state secretary noted that the case mentioned by the newspaper was investigated in 2002, and that an prosecutor with the UN mission in the province, UNMIK, decided not to raise indictments. Ivanovic also noted that he was not worried about the accusations coming from Pristina, and that he would continue to do his job. Oliver Ivanovic (FoNet, file)
