Del Ponte keeps silent on human traffic in Albania

TIRANA, Aug 4 – Karla del Ponte, former chief prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal, denied to comment on allegations published in her book that Serbs were trafficked in Albania and their organs surgically removed and sold.
In her book, The Hunting, published in Italy, she accused ethnic Albanians in Kosova in cooperating with certain persons or officials in Albania, brought up to 300 Serbs to Albania, who later had their organs removed in a village in northern Mat district.
“I am a diplomat now. I cannot speak on that issue,” the former prosecutor answered to a request from the Albanian newspaper Gazeta Shqiptare.
She said that a top Swiss diplomat had told her she could not speak of her former profession as a prosecutor while she was serving as a diplomat in Argentina.
Albanians on both sides of the border (Albania and Kosova) strongly denied such accusations.
