The Albanian mafia in Kosovo is trying to produce genetically modified cocaine that would make it independent from its Colombian suppliers. This is according to Italian journalist Roberto Saviano, the author of the bestseller book "Gomorrah" – a look at the Naples mafia, that has already been made into an award-winning movie. "Kosovo, Europe's Colombia" Saviano told Banja Luka daily Glas Srpske that the Albanian mafia in Kosovo chiefs "dream" about turning the province into "a European Colombia". "In order to achieve this, they wish to genetically engineer a type of coca plant that would grow in Kosovo's climate. In this way, the Albanian mafia would have a monopoly over the cocaine trade. They need 20 years to achieve this," he said, and added that "then, Kosovo will without a doubt become the new Colombia". Saviano has spent the past three years living under round-the-clock police protection, with the crime families sending out messages that he would be punished for writing the book, which he based on his own investigations.
