Serbia's War Crimes Prosecution has obtained photographs of the suspects in the organ harvesting and trafficking case, spokesman Bruno Vekaric told B92. Hundreds of Kosovo's Serbs were kidnapped by ethnic Albanians in the province during and after the 1999 war, to be taken to northern Albania, where their vital organs were removed to be sold in the black market, the prosecution believes. Prosecution: Proof in organ trafficking case Now the investigators have fresh evidence from their sources, in the shape of the photographs showing some of the persons who committed war crimes in Kosovo and northern Albania. Vekaric did not reveal their identities, but said that the prosecution previously had information on some of the suspects. There are maps drawn on the back of the photographs, with marked date and location where the pictures were taken. The prosecution now intends to present this new evidence to the Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty, who is due here next month. Vekaric also stated that the prosecution will try to once again contact their Albanian counterparts in order to try and include Tirana in an objective investigation of what went on in the territory of Albania. "Our sources gave us very striking photographs, which confirm what we already know, and that, firstly, that there were KLA camps in northern Albania during the war, and secondly, that there were Serb victims in northern Albania at the same time, and that there were medical centers were the surgical procedures potentially took place," he said. "All this has in fact been confirmed through the material that we have just received and as soon as on Monday we will try to identify both the perpetrators and the victims of this crime, within the scope of a big case knows as, the Human Organ Trafficking," said Vekaric.
