Jeremic, also said that assertions from the report of Special Rapporteur of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Dick Marty shocked the world and underlined that allegations of this and other crimes committed during the conflict in Kosovo must not be pushed under the carpet.
It is necessary to conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation into the illegal trade in human organs in Kosovo under UN auspices, just as was the case with all war crimes committed in the Balkans, the Minister said.
He reiterated that Serbia's position remains the same and that it will not recognise the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo explicitly or implicitly.
The determination to stand against unilateral separatism in Kosovo means determination to be against the violent partition of any UN member state, Jeremic underlined, adding that Serbia is ready to resolve all differences at the negotiating table.
