They also agreed that all relevant institutions need to cooperate with the investigation.
A recent report by CoE Rapporteur Dick Marty accused the ethnic Albanian KLA of kidnapping and killing for their organs Serb civilians in Kosovo in 1999 and 2000.
Ljajic and Brammertz talked about the unknown fate of 524 people whose disappearance can be attributed to the Kosovo Liberation Army, and agreed this is an important issue, the National Council said in a statement.
They concluded that cooperation between Serbia and the Hague is professional and without difficulties when it comes to delivering documentation, access to state archives and witnesses, and all other technical aspects of cooperation which are under the purview of the National Council.
"All requests from the prosecutor's office are complied with within the agreed timeframe," the statement reads and adds that the National Council will do everything do keep the cooperation at the same level in the future.
