Former Albanian Intelligence Service head: KLA organ trafficking charges are absurd

Asked whether there had been doubts or competencies to investigate KLA activity in that period, Klosi said there had been competencies but never doubts and “all problems currently emerging are absurd”.

I had all the powers, but I had no doubt... I was with them [parters of the KLA] almost every day, I didn't treat them as suspicious, for me they were heroes. There was this problem at the very center of our attention that the KLA could do such things. The only problem we had was how many people would die today as they passed the mines to carry weapons, not to bring here people who... it's absurd, ” Klosi told Euronews Albania pledging to speak on behalf of his former intelligence service.

Speaking of the time of the Kosovo War, Klosi said the alleged territories were checked several times, but for the supposed locations like “The Yellow House” in Burrel or “Hotel Drenica” in Durres he insisted that “it takes some names” and “be invented if to protect a subject like this that KLA has been criminal”.

Like Klosi, the former Foreign Minister of Earlys 2000, Kastriot Islami, said that “had no knowledge of” on the issue until 2011 when the Marty report was published and then adopted a resolution in the Council of Europe that would allow investigations of his claims.

“I'm not going to discuss anything that was involved in Marty's report, because I wasn't aware. The [KiE] resolution does not have any charges and there is no name, it demands from countries that for some doubts allow the continuation of investigations and establish institutions for their trial, while the former Yugoslavia's court for Kosovo and Albanians together with the US, the EU and countries that had bombed Milosevic had the stance that these [accusa] are false, but while saying that an international court brought truth to the public was a position for the truth to be attended to the end,<1] Kastriot Islami was expressed.

“None of the allegations raised there [in Dick Marty's report], is part of today's accusations against Thaci and others, so no such threats should be made because the public makes short connections that Thaci and others have links to organ traffic, but no connection with that report, should be removed,” > persuaded Islam with conviction, insisting on the wrong action of rediscussion for this part.

Islam suggested that lawyers of accused parties be allowed to do their job, while Albanian politics and society are co-ordinated in supporting them and not wage political warfare for specific benefits that could even harm the issue of Kosovo's liberation war.
