The Serbian delegation has proposed to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) a draft resolution which requires an urgent international investigation of organ trafficking in Kosovo and Metohija.

The draft will be discussed at the annual meeting of OSCE PA in Belgrade from July 6 to 10, it was announced Wednesday in Copenhagen.

The trafficking of human beings is one of the worst crimes against humanity, but the trade in human organs is an extreme form of this crime, head of the Serbian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly Suzana Grubjesic, who filed the resolution, said.

The resolution, which is supported by 41 OSCE PA members from 17 countries, calls for closer international cooperation in the fight against criminal organizations involved in trafficking in human organs, OSCE PA said.

The Serbian delegation has scheduled a special meeting on the fight against illegal human organ trafficking for July 9 in Belgrade to further highlight the issue.

The event will be addressed by Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic and the head of the Serbian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly Suzana Grubjesic.

The OSCE PA will hold its 20th annual meeting from July 6 to 10 in Belgrade, which will be attended by over 250 delegates from over 50 countries.

Parliamentarians will consider the inclusion of the resolution in the Belgrade Declaration, which will help shape future policies of OSCE member states.

All members present will vote on both documents.
