MOSCOW, January 23 (RIA
Novosti) – The investigation into alleged organ theft during the Kosovo
conflict has stalled because of the EU’s unhelpful position, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday.
“The EU has taken over
the investigation: It is marking time. It is quietly being scaled down,” he
said without elaborating.
Moscow backs Serbia’s
call for an international investigation, and Belgrade has a right to raise the
issue at the UN Security Council, he stressed.
It is alleged that
organs were harvested from live prisoners captured by members of the Kosovo
Liberation Army.
These allegations were
given further publicity when former chief prosecutor for the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Carla Del Ponte featured
them in her 2008 book.

This is such an old issue, why is it revived now?
Although the allegations are true.
