Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that during his time in office he had heard nothing about organ harvesting performed by the KLA in 1999, writes BalkanInsight.com, a website of the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN). “I never heard of organ harvesting and cannot comment on it,” Blair said in Pristina, when asked about the Council of Europe report of 2010, in which the rapporteur of the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly, Dick Marty, wrote that a criminal network linked to Hashim Thaci, now Kosovo's Prime Minister, had murdered kidnapped Serb civilians and sold their organs after the conflicts in Kosovo in 1999. As Prime Minister of Britain, Blair was one of the most vocal supporters of NATO intervention in Kosovo in 1999, which resulted in the withdrawal of Serbian troops and Kosovo being placed under UN interim administration, writes BalkanInsight.com
