This is according to Branislav Tapuskovic, who at the time participated in the proceedings before the Hague Tribunal, and who now told Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti that former Chief Hague Prosecutor Carla del Ponte also spoke about this in the past.

The Albanians in question were members of the co-called KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army"), Milovan Drecun, a member of the Serbian National Assembly from the ranks of the ruling SNS, told public broadcaster RTS on Thursday.

The chambers are colloquially referred to as "the special court for KLA ('Kosovo Liberation Army') crimes."

According to this, Smith had "a series of meetings with international and Kosovo officials."

"In the course of his visit, he is meeting, among others, with the heads of international organizations, representatives of EU member states and Kosovo Justice Minister Abelard Tahiri, as well as senior officials in the Justice Ministry," Smith's office said.

Pristina requested the release of a Kosovo citizen who it said was arrested in Serbia on suspicion of war crimes, but Belgrade has not yet publicly responded or provided any details about the case.

In closing statements at the high-profile trial in Kosovo, the defence insisted that the kidney transplants at the Medicus clinic had no connection to people-trafficking as the indictment claims.

The former owner of the Medicus clinic in Kosovo, on trial for alleged involvement in organ-trafficking, read a document in court that he said proved the clinic had a licence to do kidney transplants.

The former owner of the Medicus clinic, Lutfi Dervishi, who is being retried for alleged involvement in organised crime in connection with people-trafficking, told Pristina Basic Court on Wednesday that he once assisted in a kidney transplant at the clinic.

Gazeta Express got hold of a letter that the British lawyer Sir Geoffrey Nice addressed to the so-called Government of Kosovo, when he reveals a scandalous history involving Hashim Thaci and his team. The letter shows that Thaci owes almost half a million Euro for his professional engagement with the Government of Kosovo.

A new report argues that using the word ‘reconciliation’ does not help families of Kosovo Albanian and Serb war victims to deal with the past because it suggests that crimes should be pardoned or forgotten.
