Israeli analyst and former advisor to the Macedonian government, Sam Vaknik, said that the story of organ trafficking in Kosovo was a slur of Serbian ultra-nationalist Vojislav Seselj, news agency INA informs.
"The story was invented in 1999 by Vojislav Seselj, the Serbian nationalist, during parliamentary elections in Serbia at that time. During the campaign for these elections, Seselj had declared that he possesses proper evidence on Serb prisoners who are kept in special trenches, where organs were removed, and later, according to him, some were even killed. At that time, Seselj had accussed the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and its political leader Hashim Thaci", Sam Vaknin was cited as having said during a TV appearance in Skopje.
According to him, Serb prisoners who were later freed after the war, never witnessed anything like that, INA reports.
"Of the four thousand Serb prisoners who returned to their homes, none of them said that their kidneys were removed and no one had seen anything like that. They said they did not see organ transplants being carried out, nor any trade with them. This means that there was nothing, and this was never mentioned before", Vaknin states, adding that "the so-called Yellow House and trafficking of organs by the KLA was for the first time heard of on an international level by former ICTY chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte, and then by Dick Marty".
