Moscow Calls to Investigate Serbs Abductions, Organs Trade in Kosovo

Russia is by far not satisfied with the work of the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and insists on investigating the
cases when the Albanians had abducted the Serbs and traded their organs and
which were described by Carla Del Ponte, the ex-chief prosecutor for war
crimes in former Yugoslavia.

We consider the state of affairs at ICTY unsatisfactory, Russia's Envoy to
the UN Vitaly Churkin announced during the meeting of Security Council
dedicated to the reports of ICTY and of the International Tribunal for
Ruanda (ITR). Churkin's speech is available at the official web of the RF
Foreign Ministry.

We expect the Tribunal to deliver a detailed report on the actions taken in
the wake of shocking denunciation made by Carla Del Ponte, ex-chief
prosecutor for war crimes in former Yugoslavia, and covered up until
recently. And the current report proved no exception, Churkin said.

According to Russia's official, the comments voiced at the April 16 briefing
of ICTY are hardly acceptable. It looks like that, under the different
pretext, the Tribunal simply ignores such serious charges as the large-scale
violent take-out of human organs.
