America forgives Yellow House (Vesti online)

According to the writings of Pristina based media, a Special investigation team headed by U.S. prosecutor Clint Williamson found no evidence on trafficking in organs in Kosovo during the war in 1999. As stated, the report should be released in two months and will discard accusations from the report of Council of Europe Special Rapporteur, Dick Marty on trafficking in human organs of kidnapped Serbs and other non-Albanians. 

“I cannot say that this is surprise for us, even though we secretly hoped that maybe this time the international community will work impartially and in accordance with the evidence, justice and truth. But, as all the things that were happening throughout the previous period, they are entirely on the side of the extremists and secessionists in Kosovo. International community excuses the crimes that have occurred over the Serbs and justifications of the self-proclaimed state Kosovo, which originates on the same crimes. Believe me, it's hard for me to talk, I'm so bittered, sad and desperate. Although I tried to look at things realistically, I secretly hoped that this time the investigation will be professional and impartial,” said Natasa Scepanovic, president of the Association of victims in Kosovo in 1998-2000. 

Citing well-informed sources, TV Klan Kosova reported that the report of the special international investigation team will be postponed for two months, although it was previously announced it will be published in June. 

According to the international sources, after presenting the report, Williamson will leave the position of the Head of the special team, and he will be replaced by also an American. New prosecutor will then narrow the investigation to only 12 cases of war crimes, that Williams’ team found evidence that they have happened after June 12, 1999. 

These are individual crimes which were not organized by a criminal group. If it turns out that this information is correct, the darkest forebodings will come true, that even after the report of Dick Marty about the infamous yellow house, where organs were taken from kidnapped Serbs for the sake of resale, those who committed this heinous crime will not be brought to justice. 

“As soon as we saw that they awaited this long for the investigation to be over, and at the same time we did not have a single information about the progress, it indicated that someone is controlling the investigation and that they want to protect people in power in Pristina, the former command staff of KLA,” said Scepanovic. 

A spokesman for the prosecutor Williamson, Joao Souza told Beta news agency that he could not comment on the ongoing investigation, as well as media speculation. “I do not want to prejudge the outcome of the investigation, the results will be announced,” briefly said Souza.
