Addressing the Forty-first General Assembly of the Organization of American States, Jeremic said that Dick Marty's report identifies current holders of the most powerful public positions in Kosovo as the ringleaders of an organized criminal conspiracy involved in money laundering, arms smuggling, and drug trafficking.

It says this group they lead allegedly committed war crimes, and is responsible for kidnapping hundreds of Serb civilians before, during and after the 1999 conflict and that these abductees were sent from Kosovo to secret detention camps in the Republic of Albania. They were then forced into surgery, and left to die. Once extracted, their internal organs were sold on the international black market, Jeremic said.

It is imperative that allegations of these and all other atrocities committed in the context of the Kosovo conflict are not swept under the carpet, he said.
