Kosovo

Key US Ally Indicted For Organ Trade Murder Scheme

When President Clinton dropped 23,000 bombs on what was left of Yugoslavia in 1999 and NATO invaded and occupied the Yugoslav province of Kosovo, U.S. officials presented the war to the American public as a "humanitarian intervention" to protect Kosovo’s majority ethnic Albanian population from genocide at the hands of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. That narrative has been unraveling piece by piece ever since. In 2008 an international prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, accused U.S.-backed Prime Minister Hashim Thaci of Kosovo of using the US bombing campaign as cover to murder hundreds of people to sell their internal organs on the international transplant market. Del Ponte’s charges seemed almost too ghoulish to be true.

Violent Protests In Kosovo: Protesters Call For Gov’t Resignation

Large scale protests, organized by opposition and fueled by nationalism, have erupted in the last 15 days in Kosovo, culminating yesterday after the expiration of an ultimatum for Aleksandar Jablanović’s resignation. Several thousand citizens participated in protests yesterday. Reports about the number of injured are contradictory, but at least 40 police officers and 50 demonstrators were injured in yesterday’s violent protests. Protesters are demanding from Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi to sack Jablanović, as well as nationalization of the Trepče mine that is owned by both Kosovo and Serbia.
