Delegation head Grubjesic presented the Draft Resolution recommending an urgent comprehensive and independent international investigation into the kidnappings and crimes which would, in cooperation with UNMIK, EULEX and other relevant institutions, provide information, facts and documents on the crimes of kidnapping and illicit trade in human organs in Kosovo-Metohija, explained Grubjesic. The Serbian delegation head stressed that a Council of Europe mandate is the only way to guarantee that the investigation would not be limited by mandate or jurisdiction issues as EULEX has no right to investigate outside of Kosovo, and without a Council of Europe mandate other states would have no reason to allow an investigation on their territory. The Council of Europe mandate is essential for the success of the investigation and an inseparable part of the demand for justice, concluded Grubjesic. In her address, Grubjesic called on the OSCE PA to fully support the activities of the OSCE special representative and coordinator for combat against human organ trafficking, as well propose that the OSCE investigate and record cases of illicit trafficking in human organs in its area so as to prepare a study outlining the scope of this crime against humanity.
