Serbia's Dulic calls for inquiry in Ahtisaari bribe allegations
Oliver Dulic, the speaker of the Parliament of Serbia, is calling for a
formal inquiry into allegations that Martti Ahtisaari, the UN special envoy
for Kosovo, has accepted bribes from an Albanian organised crime figure in
exchange for recommending independence for the Serbian province, US-based
news portal Serbianna.com reported on Monday.
Bosnian news agency Focus had reported over the weekend that
Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany's federal foreign intelligence
agency, had uncovered bank accounts held by Mr Ahtisaari that had received
two million euros and that on at least two occasions he had received cash
payments of more than 40 million euros.
Neither the UN nor Mr Ahtisaari, a former Finnish president, has commented
on the allegations.
