The report should be forwarded to special rapporteur of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Dick Marty investigating trafficking of organs removed from kidnapped Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo, who is expected to arrive in Belgrade soon, said Vekaric.
Marty plans to visit Belgrade, Pristina and Tirana to renew investigation on trafficking of organs removed from kidnapped Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija during the bombing campaign of Serbia in 1999.
According to gathered data, between 300 and 400 people were kidnapped by members of the paramilitary formation Kosovo Liberation Army, who transported them to Albania, where local surgeons removed their vital organs for trafficking.
