Boris Tadic calls for collective action on organised crime

Organised crime is perverting democracy, and European countries must act together to stamp it out, Serbian President Boris Tadic warned parliamentarians on 26 January in Strasbourg. Tadic called for a "strategic alliance", with governments of the Western Balkans prioritising their work to beat the criminals. Turning to alleged crimes of organ trafficking revealed by the Assembly report on Tuesday, Tadic called for an immediate, full and independent criminal investigation of the charges.
