Serbia has sent a protest note to the Hague Tribunal following its decision to include Albania on the list of host countries for convicted war criminals. Dusan Ignjatovic, the director of the Office for Cooperation with the Hague, expressed the government’s concern at the decision to Tribunal Secretary Hans Holthuis. Serbia in protest to Hague Tribunal "We think that it is a very bad decision. Apart from the obvious reasons, there are also concerns about the conditions in Albanian prisons,” Ignjatovic told B92. He reiterated that the U.S. State Department’s report on human rights in Albania for 2007, as well as Amnesty International’s report for the same year, had pointed out that one of the gravest issues in Albania as concerned human rights was the state of the country’s prisons. "We will insist that none of our citizens sentenced by the Tribunal serve their sentences in Albania,” Ignjatovic said. Former Hague Chief Prosecutor Carla del Ponte said after her mandate was over that there were indications that some Serb victims from Kosovo had ended up in camps in Albania, where they had had their organs harvested. Certain witnesses in the Kosovo Six trial testified about Albania’s involvement in the conflict, stating that there had been Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) barracks in Albania, and that the KLA had received weapons supplies from Albania.
