The Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, published yesterday morning a part of his speech to the UN General Assembly on September 24, in which he spoke about the liberation war in Kosovo and about the revision of the Council of Europe resolution in support of the Dick Marty report / on trade with bodies in Kosovo and Albania during the war in the 1990s - note ed./, who acquired a bad reputation, reported ATA, quoted by BTA.

Rama emphasizes that Albania will not stop fighting for the purity of Kosovo's liberation war.

In his speech to the UN General Assembly on September 24, Rama said: “I cannot but share with you a terrible example which should be a lesson to the whole world and above all to the democratic world.

In 2011, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe approved a report compiled by a diligent parliamentarian named Dick Marty, in which the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was accused of the heinous crime of organ trafficking.

Mr. Marty should have been paid as a narrator, but never trusted as a rapporteur for the Council of Europe.

His report was shocking and not only did many people at the time believe it, but it became a key factor in fueling the idea and creating specialized courts for Kosovo.

This became one of the worst cases of warped reality,

Rama said that "all investigative efforts over these 11 long years to prove these allegations have been in vain, not a shred of evidence or indication related to the alleged organ trafficking has been found anywhere in Kosovo or anywhere else .

And yet the specialized courts for Kosovo that arose in connection with this report have, as we speak, arrested the president of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci."

"We think and hope that it is on the basis of this lack of evidence that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will respect the truth and accept Albania's request for a follow-up report, meanwhile the damage has been done, and help restore confidence in such an important international organization," Prime Minister Rama emphasized in his September 24 speech to the United Nations.

Rama said this effort has nothing to do with an individual nor a legal proceeding, but with the unacceptable tarnishing of a country and its history.

"Everyone try to imagine for a moment your president or prime minister, the leader of your country, being removed from office, taken to a third country, detained for a whole year without any formal indictments by a body created and sponsored by a community of democratic countries (…)?

Not a single word of the entire subsequent indictment has anything to do with the Council of Europe report on the alleged crime of organ trafficking.

All fantasy.

This is a monumental failure at the international level and it is not about one person, it is not about legal proceedings;

it is about inappropriate tarnishing of a country and its history," said the Prime Minister of Albania.

Edi Rama: Serbia should apologize to Kosovo

In his speech, Rama added that "we will never stop honoring the truth of Kosovo's freedom, and no one, in the name of anyone, can throw a single lump of mud on those who gave their lives for independence.

"All investigative efforts over these 11 long years to prove these allegations at the national, regional and international levels have been in vain, nothing, not a shred of evidence or indication related to the suspected and alleged organ trafficking has been found anywhere in Kosovo or anywhere else.

We will never relinquish this truth and we will never stop honoring those who gave their lives for our freedom and independence and on whom no one for the sake of anyone can throw even a speck of mud,” said Rama.
