Thaci will also be indicted, claims daily (B92,Blic)

BELGRADE -- Clint Williamson's statement that "KLA leaders will be accused of crimes reveals that the list will include KLA leader Hashim Thaci," writes a daily.

Beside Thaci, among those to be accused of war crimes will also be ten former members of the KLA, the Belgrade-based daily continued.

Quoting a source from the Serbian government, the newspaper reported that "one should not be surprised if procedures for organ trafficking are also initiated before a new court for KLA crimes."

"The report of Prosecutor Williamson is very positive for Serbia and is a very important thing. The full significance will be seen when the time comes for indictments," the unnamed source was quoted as saying.

The U.S. prosecutor at the helm of an EU investigative team presented his statement on Tuesday in Brussels, and told reporters there was insufficient evidence that the persons kidnapped in Kosovo in 1999 - mostly Serbs - had their organs forcibly removed and sold in the black market by the KLA, but that there was evidence of involvement of the top of the KLA "in ethnic cleansing."

The fact that so far there is no evidence of organ harvesting, does not mean that there will not be, Williamson was also quoted as saying, and adding that the investigation would continue.
