They submitted a petition to Council Of Europe (CoE) Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland, which they said contained more than 230,000 signatures collected against the Kosovo human organ trafficking report by CoE Rapporteur Dick Marty.
In it, the ethnic Albanian so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is accused of illegal trade of body parts harvested from kidnapped Kosovo Serbs and other civilians, and also of involvement in other serious crimes.
The delegation of organizations originating from the KLA, headed by Muhamed Dzemaili, met with several different deputy groups of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), which has Marty' report on its agenda Tuesday.
During these meetings, the delegation asked the PACE officials to vote against the draft resolution based on the report, the Albanian language media in Pristina reported.
Dzemaili, Dzavit Jasari, and their associates were also taking part in the protest of Albanians in Strasbourg, which began in front of the CoE Headquarters at noon.
