In Albania, in addition to the “yellow house”, there could be at least three more similar locations. They are suspected to be sites where vital organs were taken from kidnapped Kosovo Serbs and other non-Albanians. More than one organ snatching location? A B92 TV investigative team traveled to Albania on the basis of new evidence and information revealing that in, in addition to the “yellow house” described in former Hague Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte’s book, there were at least three similar locations. Hundreds of Kosovo's Serbs went missing during and after the 1999 war in the province. The Serbian War Crimes Prosecution is investigating claims that Kosovo Albanian KLA had taken them to northern Albania in order to remove their vital organs, later sold in the black market. A broadcast based on the team’s investigation airs tonight, containing exclusive footage taken in Albania and interviews with doctors from the transplant division at Mother Theresa University Hospital in Tirana, where 75 patients were transferred in 1999 due to failed kidneys. Looking at Del Ponte’s claims, the investigative team attempted to verify information from the War Crimes Prosecution that just as NATO was attacking Serbia several kidney transplants were conducted for Kosovo patients, with organs taken out of the kidnapped Serbs. The team spoke with doctors from the Skopje University Hospital in Macedonia, where 70 patients were transferred from Kosovo during the same period. Officials in Skopje say transplants did not take place at that time. Nevertheless, in contrast to his Albanian colleagues, a Skopje nephrologists who spoke with the team said he believes Del Ponte’s claims. The Serbian prosecution is also investigating whether the Hague Tribunal had destroyed material evidence found in the Albanian town of Burrel during a probe conducted in 2004. In an exclusive interview, one of UNMIK’s investigators in Burrel said he was "taken aback" by such information. The investigator will discuss the importance of this evidence, found in 2004 in the “yellow house”. In addition to exclusive interviews and footage from Albania, the show contains information about 11 people suspected of having been murdered in the vicinity of the “yellow house” in central Albania after being kidnapped.
