One of the witnesses, whose states are in the document, talking about how the first carrying Serbs in place of Kukes, northern Albania, that would then be ordered to carry the bodies. The chilling confession says July 23, 1999., When, as described, the truck went into place, 1.5 kilometers from Suva Reka, where he was met by a group of leading KLA Ismet Terom.

– This time, I saw bodies wrapped in gray military blankets. I smelled blood and knew it was fresh. They were of both sexes, but mostly men. They loaded the bodies onto a truck. When the truck is loaded, the nasty man from KLA cab truck threw me:

“Look at them. My brother ended up in a blink. Spilled the kaporit powder that we used for disinfecting and anti-odor. I think it was people from the vicinity of Suva Reka and Orahovac Gnjilane” – according to the testimony.

Describes how the route which has previously reached Kukes drove around 12:30, but this time he was told to turn south.

While we await the conclusions of the investigation of the U.S. prosecutor Clint Williamson, who heads a special task force to investigate the European Union in relation to the trade in human organs in Kosovo, who is widely speculated that the indictments could not be found. The two documents are the main source of these media assumptions. The first is a report by Swiss senator Dick Marty on the basis of which three years ago by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, with 169 votes “for”, adopted a resolution on the inhuman treatment of people and illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo.

KLA leaders earn up to $ 45,000 of the removed organs per Serbian person

The U.S. military base in Kosovo was constructed in 1999 without consulting with the government of Serbia and is the largest U.S. military base built outside of the U.S. since the Vietnam War. The site was apparently used for extraordinary renditions and has been referred to as a “little Guantanamo”.

This is a very little known fact as NATO, the U.S., the European Union and the West are in the process of forcing Serbia to effectively give up Kosovo, and indicates the real motive for the West’s support of the Kosovo Liberation Army which it had deemed a terrorist organization in the past.

Rick Rozoff, the owner and manager of Stop NATO spoke about this and more in an interview with the Voice of Russia.

Hello! This is John Robles, I’m speaking with Rick Rozoff, the owner of the stop NATO website and international mailing list.

Robles: Hello Rick. How are you?

Rozoff: Very good John. Thanks for having me on.

Robles: It’s a pleasure to be speaking with you. How much importance would you give to the 200 US-NATO troops being stationed in Italy? And why US-NATO troops? These troops are being stationed for possible operations in Libya. How do you think that reflects on the operations to remove Muammar Gaddafi by the US?

My plan was to do a professional job as a journalist, but the past came too close in February 2011 when I met Serbian asylum seekers being returned by Norway in September 2010. The sisters Labuda, Ana and Marija Maslovarić and their families had to leave Kosovo in 1999, and it was our responsibility to protect them against revenge from the Albanians. But we failed, we failed miserably.

When I was alone in my apartment in Belgrade after returning from the refugee camp where the sisters Maslovarić reside, I started to feel a heavy personal responsibility and guilt. I started to cry and I got a reaction, a posttraumatic reaction. It wasn’t like my life was about to break down, but it was a starting signal for me to act. For a long time I have felt a sense of collective responsibility for not being able to protect Kosovo’s minorities but meeting the Maslovarić families made it more personal. This was something my government was directly responsible for.

The result is the book you are holding in your hand now. My hope is that Norwegian and Western politicians reflect more on the enormous moral responsibility of going to war.

My claim is that politicians often do not understand the consequences of going to war, and in this book I will take a closer look at the war rhetoric and the media dynamic before going to war. In the case of Yugoslavia, the media were very one-sided, and they did all they could to portray Slobodan Milošević in the worse possible light.

On March 24, 2011, 12 years after NATO went to war against Yugoslavia, I apologized to the Serbian people on national TV as a former NATO officer because we were not able to protect the minorities in Kosovo. Most Serbian newspapers wrote about this and also theTV station Pink.

In 1999, my country Norway and the NATO alliance went to war against Yugoslavia because they refused to sign the Rambouillet Agreement, and in January 2000 the Norwegian government sent me to Kosovo as an army major to represent the NATO-led KFOR peace keeping force as a press officer from January to July 2000.

Although I do not have any formal education as an officer, I got the rank of an army major because of my press background. The status of an officer is not important in this context, but the point is that Norway sent me to Kosovo to represent KFOR and NATO.

Of course there were reasons for the NATO bombing, but I do not know one single country that would accept the Rambouillet Agreement. According to this agreement, NATO would occupy the entire territory of Yugoslavia, air, sea and land and the free use of airports, harbors and roads without compensation or criminal responsibility. Later on in this book, I will take a closer look at the Rambouillet Agreement.

On June 12 1999, the international community took responsibility for Kosovo according to the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 and the Military Technical Agreement. Our job was to protect Serbs and non-Albanians from repercussions from the Albanians, but our mission failed.

Under our watch, 250,000 Serbs and non-Albanians were ethnically cleansed from Kosovo. Of course I do not defend the ethnic cleansing of 800,000 Albanians during the NATO bombing, but the Yugoslav government, not NATO, was responsible for this. However, it is not clear to what extent Albanian leaders influenced their own people to seek refuge in Albania and Macedonia to make the bombing continue.

Belgrade – The footage showing a protected witness recounting his role in the the illegal harvesting and trafficking of human organs in Kosovo and Albania has been aired.

The unnamed witness is a former member of the ethnic Albanian so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The footage was shown on Serbia’s public broadcaster RTS late on Monday.

The case concerns allegations that in 1999 and 2000, members of the KLA kidnapped Serb and other non-Albanians in Kosovo, illegally imprisoned them in Albania, and finally removed their vital organs to sell them in the international black market.

Deputy War Crimes Prosecutor Bruno Vekarić told RTS that the man who had agreed to cooperate with the prosecution as a member of the KLA has received training in „a special camp in Albania“:

„Training was done in northern Albania for various activities, including for medical interventions. He was told there that he was being trained because a KLA commander could be injured in the front, so he should learn how to transplant a human organ. He was not told this was a criminal act of organ extraction.“

Vekarić explained that „in this case, it is not about the Yellow House“, and that this witness mentioned that location only once.

In his statement – which the prosecution considers key to its human organ trafficking investigation, the protected witness explained that the training was done using „plastic dummies that contained body parts“, and that he and other KLA members were told that they were receiving this training „because at that time the Serbian police and military were everywhere, so we could not take the wounded to public hospitals“.

Germany and the U.S. collaborated in supporting the development and training of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) to deliberately destabilize a centralized socialist government in Yugoslavia.

Since the early 1990s, Bonn and Washington have joined hands in establishing their respective spheres of influence in the Balkans. Undercover support to the Kosovo rebel army was established as a joint endeavor between the CIA and Germany’s Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND). The task to create and finance the KLA was initially given to Germany:

“They used German uniforms, East German weapons, and were financed in part by drug money,” according to intelligence analyst John Whitley. As the KLA matured, the U.S. and Germany recruited Mujaheddin mercenaries, financed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, to train the KLA in guerrilla and diversion tactics.
