Russian official, UN envoy discuss human organ trafficking in Kosovo
MOSCOW: Illegal trade in human organs in Kosovo was one of the issues raised at a meeting between a Russian deputy foreign minister and a senior UN envoy on Tuesday.
Deputy Minister Vladimir Titov and UN Special Representative for Kosovo Lamberto Zannier had "an exchange of opinions on an investigation into illegal trade in human organs in Kosovo under a recent decision by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"The need was stressed for an effective international mechanism for this purpose under the control of the UN Security Council," it said.
Titov and Zannier also discussed "key aspects of the Kosovo peace process, international activities in Kosovo, and the overall situation" there, the ministry said.
"The Russian side reaffirmed its unchanged position of non-recognition of the independence of Kosovo, which has been declared unilaterally and in violation of principles and standards of international law. It was emphasized that negotiations based on Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council would be the only way to solve the Kosovo problem," the statement said.
In January, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told a briefing in Moscow: "The resolution confirms our position that all the facts need careful investigation and gives a powerful signal to the international community that it is unacceptable to try to gloss over brutal crimes in Kosovo."
"We are convinced that illegal trade in human organs is an issue that must remain an object of close attention on the part of the international community," he said.
