Abstract

Written upon request of the Council of Europe, Senator Dick Marty’s report on secret places of detention of the Kosovo Liberation Army in northern Albania in 1999-2000 has deeply shaken the Kosovo society and the international supporters of the ruling government. As he confirmed the allegations of organ trafficking and identified the current Prime minister, Hashim Thaçi, as the leader who controlled this squalid trade, Marty has exposed the extent of criminal activities gripping Kosovo and the code of silence which allowed their development.

Key words : Kosovo, Albania, organ trafficking, Hashim Thaçi, Dick Marty, witness protection, organized crime.
