"As we had expected, Putin confirmed that Russia will strongly advocate at the UN Security Council a creation of an adequate mechanism for the investigation into organ trafficking allegations," Jeremic stressed.
Serbia's request for launching an investigation into organ trafficking before the UN was one of the topics discussed with Putin in Belgrade Wednesday, he added.
A report filed by Council of Europe Rapporteur Dick Marty named ethnic Albania KLA as perpetrators of kidnappings of Serb civilians in Kosovo in 1999 and 2000, and sale of their harvested vital organs in the black market.
A subsequent Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) resolution was based on the report, and called for an investigation to be launched.
