Four hospitals in Pristina are closed due to suspicions of illegal trafficking in human organs, and 17 employees of these medical institutions are under investigation. Among them are foreigners.
As the official representative of the police of the self-proclaimed “Republic of Kosovo”, Baki Kelani, said, during the inspection, four private clinics working in the field of reproductive medicine discovered criminal acts: illegal transplantology and trafficking in human organs and cells.
Recall that Kosovo as a center of “black transplantology” became widely known in 2008 after the report of the former prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal, Carl del Ponte. The document referred to the removal of organs from abducted civilians, mainly Serbs, during the years of hostilities in the 1990s and then in the 2000s. The militants of the Kosovo Liberation Army are involved in the crimes.
