The Special Court was founded after publishing a report by Swiss senator Dick Marty, who had written that crimes were committed during the war in Kosovo and organ trafficking by local fighters has been made.
So far there are about 250 former KLA fighters who have been invited to various qualities to give answers and silence before special prosecutors over war crimes allegations committed during and after the war.

Hashim Thaci and Xhavit Haliti are out of the way. For this
In this 30-page report, Hashim Thaci's name is mentioned 26 times.
But why is this court established?
The answer is clear: to clarify the charges that were written by a Swiss, Dick Marty, in a 30-page report, which holds the KLA leader responsible for the long crimes committed and the post-war organised crime.
To investigate these charges, the prosecutor, Clinton Williams, had also been appointed, who had said that approximately ten charges would be filed against the former KLA leadership.
“We believe that Task Force will be able to file charges against some former top KLA leaders for crimes against Serbs, Roma and other ethnicities, as well as Albanians who are believed to have been collaborators of Serbia and political rivals”, Williams had said in July 2014.
This prosecutor had mentioned the number ten charges, but not the number of indictees, writes the Express newspaper.
So far, no one mentioned the names of those who would be charged, but Prosecutor Williams had shown the address of where those people are to be prosecuted.
The “will not go into specifics to talk about individuals, but our data is consistent with what Dick Marty said in his report, that these individuals were in the top management of the KLA”, he added.
Instead of Williams, American David Schwendiman was appointed to the post of chief prosecutor of the European Union's Investigation Group for investigating claims by the Council of Europe's war crimes report in Kosovo.
But what are the names mentioned in this report?
They are: Hashim Thaci, Shaip Muja, Kadri Veselin, Azem Syla, Fatmir Limaj, Xhavit Haliti, Haradinaj are the main characters in Dick Marty's report.
These former KLA leaders, Marty, linked them to criminal acts committed during wartime and post-war.
How many times are the names of KLA leaders mentioned in Report?
Rather, the name of former KLA political leader Hashim Thaci is mentioned. So his name figures in almost every 30 pages of the Report. In all, five times his name and last name is mentioned, and another 21 times his last name. In all, President Thaci's name is mentioned 26 times.
Next MP follows The PDK, Shaip Muja, mentioned 20 times in The Report. He also had positions at the KLA General Staff. In addition, the report mentions Kadri Wessel seven times.
The name Fatmir Limaj, currently deputy and leader of a small political party, is mentioned six times.
Azem Syla and the surname Haradinaj are mentioned twice in the report.
The appointment “Drenica Group” is mentioned five times, while its leader is said to be Leader of The PDK, Hashim Thaci.
This type of criminal activity has continued to operate even after the war in other forms, related to organized crime, until the European Law Rule Mission, EULEX '%i revealed the case of the Medicus clinic in Pristina for organ trafficking”, the report stressed.
Some other members of the Drenica Group have been given indicators during the investigation that they played vital roles as co-conspirators in various criminal activities. These include Xhavit Haliti, Kadri Veselini, Azem Syla and Fatmir Limaj. All these have been repeatedly investigated over the past decade as war crimes suspects and joint criminal enterprise, including major cases led by UNMIK, The Hague Tribunal, and EULEX. Until today, everyone has escaped from justice”, Marty writes.
“Direct sources that are responsible show that Haliti, Veselin, Syla and Limaj, as well as Thaci and other members of the circle of their close associates will have been ordered, and sometimes they will have personally followed, the realisation of a number of murders, imprisonments, aggressions and interrogations, in different regions of Kosovo, and specifically, what interests us most, during operations carried out by the KLA on Albanian territory, in 1998-20111, the report is said.
