    Default And Kosovo's Main Export is...

    And Kosovo's Main Export is...

    ...kidneys!

    AFP - Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci was one of the key players in the traffic of organs of Serb prisoners after the 1998-99 conflict there, according to allegations in a draft Council of Europe report.
    The report, by Swiss Council of Europe deputy Dick Marty, accuses Thaci and other senior commanders of the ethnic Albanian guerrilla group the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) of having set up the traffic.
    The draft report was published on the Council of Europe website on Tuesday and will be considered by its legal affairs committee on Thursday.



    In fact, the whole of Kosovo was seized by mobsters, a mafia clan, who've ran the place ever since, and who won the elections last week:



    Thaci, he said, was "the boss" of the Drenica Group, a "small but inestimably powerful group of KLA personalities" who took control of organised crime in the region from at least 1998.
    The diplomatic and political support the United States and other western powers gave him during the talks following the Kosovo conflict "bestowed upon Thaci, not least in his own mind, a sense of being 'untouchable'," he added
    .

    "The signs of collusion between the criminal class and high political and institutional office bearers are too numerous and too serious to be ignored," wrote Marty.



    Equally as alarming, the state of Albania is full of accomplices:

    Thaci also operated with the help not just of the Albanian government "but also from Albania's secret services, and from the formidable Albanian mafia," wrote Marty.
    The report's sources also implicated Thaci and his lieutenants in "assassinations, detentions, beatings and interrogations" in Kosovo and Albania between 1998 and 2000, he wrote.

    Thaci's ruling Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), which won the most votes in Sunday's general elections, denounced Marty's allegations as "fabrications" in a statement Tuesday.
