- PRISTINA, Kosovo: A senior Kosovo official has accused an investigator of trying to damage the country with a report that civilian detainees of the Kosovo Liberation Army were shot to death to sell their kidneys on the black market Interior Minister Bajram Rexhepi said Wednesday the allegations were “monstrous and not true” and blamed Council of Europe investigator Dick Marty of having “his own agenda ...
- to damage” Kosovo.
Marty has also alleged that Prime Minister Hashim Thaci was the “boss” of a grisly organ trafficking operation after the war in Kosovo ended in 1999.
Rexhepi said Marty was trying to weaken Kosovo before it meets for negotiations with Serbia. Serbia has refused to recognize its former province’s 2008 declaration of independence.
