Walker served as the chief of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe's Kosovo Verification Mission from 1998-1999. While there, he played a crucial role in bringing the Racak massacre of January 15, 1999, to public attention.

The false denial has raised suspicison as to his integrity and motives for reporting, given his position in the KVM demanded independence and no political affiliation.
