Ljajic and Laurens discussed issues related to the continuation of Serbia's European integration and allegations of trade in organs of kidnapped Serbs and other non-Albanians from Kosovo-Metohija.

Ljajic said that the Serbian government's main priority is European integration and welcomed the very positive signals coming from top EU officials regarding the abolition of tourist visas for Serbian citizens for EU countries soon.

Laurens commended the government’s efforts to remove all obstacles on its road to the EU, stressing that Serbia has the Council of Europe’s clear and unambiguous support in this matter.

Speaking about allegations regarding the trafficking in organs of kidnapped Serbs and other non-ethnic Albanians from Kosovo-Metohija, Laurens said that the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly rapporteur Dick Marty will be in Pristina this week, adding that a conclusion to the “Yellow House” case is expected soon.

Ljajic said he expects that all those who were involved in organ trafficking will be punished accordingly, recalling that not a single relevant institution has denied that crimes were committed in the “Yellow House” case, the statement adds.
