There has been a deep silence about what happened in Kosovo after the war. We were told that "we" have helped to defend human rights in Kosovo, that we have been in the "right side" against evil.
But little news, that arise, time to time, show us that the truth has a total different color. We have already spoken about the Organ trafficking that took place after the war. Some albanian kosovar leaders thought something like "why kill serbs and bury them, when we can sell their kidneys?".
In december of the last year we spoke about the BBC's documentary "Did the atrocities continue?". Now the Council of Europe report about organ traffic has directly accused the KLA and even names Hashim Thaci -prime minister and wartime political leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA)- a total of 27 times.

This news force me to put again this photo:
From left to right: Hasim Thaçi, financed the KLA by trafficking with heroine and cocaine, present Prime Minister of Kosovo; Bernard Kouchner, former French Foreign Affairs Minister, was the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head, United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), between 1999 and 2001; General Mike Jackson, who took part in the in the repression against the catholic community in the Bloody Sunday; Agim Çeku, responsible for war crimes against the serbs of Krajina, including the massacre of Medak; and Wesley Clark. [The Truth about Kosovo]
"Thaçi has extensive criminal links. During the period of time when Thaçi was head of the Kosovo Liberation Army, it was reported by the Washington Times to be financing its activities by trafficking heroin and cocaine into western Europe. KLA supporters, however, insist that in reality KLA received its financing from the Albanian diaspora in USA, Albanian, UK and USA governments.
Thaçi in particular is seen as being central to the criminal activities of the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC), who reportedly extorted money from businessmen under the guise of "taxes" for Thaçi's self appointed government. While the KLA was officially disbanded at the end of armed conflict in Kosovo in 1999, the new Kosovo Protection Corps was composed primarily of former KLA fighters and the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) was formed largely from the political leadership of the KLA. A near monopoly on the means of force, based on the absorption of the KLA into the KPC allowed the Democratic Party of Kosovo to seize control of the machinery of government at the municipal level. The Democratic Party of Kosovo has regularly employed violence and intimidation of political rivals to maintain local political control and protect criminal enterprises which depend upon cooperation from friendly local authorities.
A recent analysis of organized crime in Kosovo prepared by German intelligence service BND and a confidential report contracted by the German military, the Bundeswehr accuse Thaçi, as well as Ramush Haradinaj and the majority Kosovo parliament faction Xhavit Haliti of far-reaching involvement in organized crime. The BND writes: “The key players (including Haliti, Haradinaj, and Thaçi) are intimately involved in inter-linkages between politics, business, and organized crime structures in Kosovo.” The report accuses Thaçi of leading a “criminal network operating throughout Kosovo.” in the end of the 1990s. The BND report also accuses Thaçi of contacts with the Czech and Albanian mafias. In addition, it accuses him, together with Haliti, of ordering killings by an professional hit man ‘Afrimi’, who is allegedly responsible for at least 11 contract murders." [Wikipedia]
