Drecun: Report of Prosecutor Williamson patchy

Chair of the Serbian parliament Committee on Kosovo Milovan Drecun stated on Tuesday that the report filed by Chief Prosecutor Clint Williamson, as the head of the European Union Special Investigative Task Force (SITF), concerning human organ trafficking in the southern Serbian province is patchy, and expressed the suspicion that it may be a result of political pressures and compromises, which is why the outcome is lower than originally expected.

Drecun underscored that the question of responsibility of the Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor's Office also has to be brought up, because the Office claims that it is investing maximum efforts but it is obvious that no results have been achieved in the establishment of the trafficking of organs harvested from kidnapped and missing Serbs and other non-Albanians from Kosovo.He qualified as positive the fact that the report by SITF headed by Williamson contains clear suspicions concerning ethnic cleansing and crimes committed against Serbs by the terrorist organisation of ethnic Albanians in the Serbian province, the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).“Still, it is not quite as good that the report states that no sufficient evidence has been found that organs were forcibly harvested from the people abducted in Kosovo in 1999, which is the gravest of crimes,” Drecun told Serbian reporters in the parliament.It seems the report is a consequence of some political compromise because of the unquestionable responsibility of (outgoing Prime Minister and former KLA commander) Hasim Taci in the organ trafficking chain, and the selective approach to crimes and victims persists, Drecun said.He voiced the suspicion that Prosecutor Williamson failed to resist political pressures, all of which are visible between the lines, and noted that the investigation had to be comprehensive and completed because there is sufficient evidence.Nobody want to see them (the evidence), Drecun said and underscored that this was perhaps the last chance to establish complete truth about the war crime of human organ trafficking.
