Kosovo 'Won't Sue' Carla Del Ponte

Pristina _ Kosovo’s Parliament has dropped a move to sue the former chief UN war crimes prosecutor over allegations that Kosovo Serbs were killed for their organs.

“We could not proceed with such a step today due to pressure from outside,” said Berat Luzha, a deputy from the Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK, and the politician who launched the initiative.

Lutfi Haziri, a former Deputy Prime Minister from the Democratic League of Kosovo, LDK, insisted that there was no pressure but rather dropped the idea after “consultations with the international community.”

In her new book, The Hunt, Carla Del Ponte alleges that around Serb 300 prisoners were kidnapped by former Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, fighters during the 1998-1999 war and transported from Kosovo to Albania, where they were locked up and had their organs removed.
