UNITED NATIONS — Serbia called on the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday to authorize an international investigation into allegations that Kosovo rebels, led by the man who is now prime minister, trafficked in human organs before, during and after the country’s 1999 war for secession.
A December report by the Council of Europe alleged that Kosovo’s prime minister, Hashim Thaci, once was the head of a criminal organization behind the organ trade during the 1998- 99 war against Serbia. The report said civilians — mostly Serbs — were kidnapped and killed, and their kidneys sold on the black market.
Thaci has dismissed the allegations as “ill- intentioned propaganda.”
