<p>The EU mission in Kosovo has launched a preliminary investigation into allegations Kosovo prime minister Hashim Thaci once led a ring trafficking in human organs.</p>
<p>The EU mission, known as Eulex, cited a Council of Europe reported in December that suggested Mr Thaci was once the &#8220;boss&#8221; of a criminal underworld behind the alleged organ trade during the 1998-99 war against Serbia, EU mission spokesman Karin Limdal said.</p>
<p>Mr Thaci has denied the claims.</p>
<p>The mission said it took those allegations &#8220;very seriously&#8221; and was &#8220;ready, willing and able to assume responsibility&#8221; for a judicial process, Ms Limdal said in a statement.</p>
<p>The December report alleges that civilians detained by the now-disbanded rebel Kosovo Liberation Army were shot dead to sell their kidneys on the black market at the time.</p>
<p>Mr Thaci, who was a leader of the guerrilla group in the 1998-1999 war against Serbia, has claimed the allegations were aimed at damaging Kosovo&#8217;s image internationally. </p>
<p>He and other Kosovo leaders have called for an investigation.</p>
<p>EU officials appealed for those who could help the investigation to come forward and present evidence.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a rule of law mission, we work on the basis of fact and evidence. Without evidence, prosecutions cannot take place,&#8221; the EU statement said. &#8220;If we receive this information, our prosecutors are ready to follow up immediately.&#8221;</p>
