Moscow says that in the investigation into the cases of kidnapping people for illegal organ trafficking in Kosovo has yielded no results. Sputnik is reporting this on Thursday.

Spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry Maria Zakharova reminded at a regular briefing for journalists that "in 2017, a special court (Specialist Chambers) were set up under the auspices of the European Union to investigate the crimes of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) including, among others, the abduction of people for the subsequent sale of their organs in the black market."

The Serbian Commission Investigating Murders of Journalists on Monday urged the Specialist Chambers for crimes committed by the so-called KLA to be investigated.

The killing and kidnapping of journalists in Kosovo in the period from 1998 to 2000, the period that encompasses the mandate of the Specialist Chambers for KLA crimes must be the topic of the investigation of the Specialist Prosecutor's Office and prosecuted at the Specialist Chambers.

Eight out of 43 members of the Kosovo Assembly who supported an initiative to annul the law on the Specialist Chambers have withdrawn their signatures.

The Specialist Chambers and Specialist Prosecutor's Office, referred to colloquially as "the special KLA court," were set up in 2015 under the auspices of the EU to deal with the crimes committed by KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army") members during and after the war in Kosovo.

MPs staged a dramatic intervention to try to stop the new special court which will try former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters, while courts in Pristina acquitted two prominent politicians and ex-guerrilla commanders.

Chairperson of Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun commenting on an initiative to repeal or revoke the Law on Special Court for the War Crimes told RTS “it is about a well-thought plan, which, although it was clear would not pass, should serve as a message that the situation in Kosovo could destabilize if Kadri Veseli, Hashim Thaci and other KLA leaders found themselves on indictments of the court.”
