The event associated with the "Yellow House" represents one of the most severe and controversial episodes from the period following the end of the Kosovo and Metohija War in 1999. Essentially, it concerns allegations of organized human organ trafficking, with the victims being primarily kidnapped Serbs and other non-Albanians from Kosovo, as well as some disloyal Albanians, who were transferred to secret detention centers in northern Albania.
Background and Allegations
The case first gained international attention thanks to former chief prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal, Carla del Ponte, who in her 2008 book The Hunt: Me and the War Criminals expressed suspicions that hundreds of kidnapped civilians, who went missing during 1999–2000, were transferred from Kosovo to Albania, where their organs were allegedly removed for sale on the international black market.

At the end of 1991, in the area of Western Slavonia, some of the most tragic events of the Croatian War took place. The military operation known as “Orkan ’91” aimed at achieving military victories over the Yugoslav People’s Army and the Serbian Territorial Defense, but it also led to the systematic persecution of the Serbian population in the Virovitica region. According to numerous reports and historical analyses, more than twenty villages were subjected to ethnic cleansing, and thousands of Serbs were forced to leave their homes, often under threat or direct violence. These events represent an important and painful chapter in the region’s history, highlighting the complexity of the conflict and the profound consequences that war leaves on the local population.

The Sliven concentration camp, established in 1915 in Bulgaria, was one of the harshest camps for Serbian prisoners of war and civilians during the First World War. Tens of thousands of Serbs, forcibly taken from occupied territories, passed through this camp. Due to extremely poor conditions, disease, and hunger, the mortality rate was exceptionally high, making the camp one of the most dreadful places of suffering for the Serbian people during that period.

One of the also notorious Croatian camps for Serbs during the last war, about which the media remain silent, is the Kuline camp in Šibenik, which, in terms of methods of torture and brutal killings, was no different from the Lora camp in Split. People sent to the Kuline camp were mostly local Serbs from the areas of Šibenik, Drniš, and Benkovac, including both men and women equally.
In Kuline, Serbs were killed by having their heads smashed against walls, subjected to electric shocks, and having their throats pierced with metal rods. One of the specific atrocities of this camp was the method of raping Serbian women using specially trained dogs. Serbian woman Marija Klisurić from the village of Miljevci near Drniš, after being raped by dogs, committed suicide.

In the Serbian village of Glušci near Metković in southern Dalmatia, unknown individuals wrote messages of hatred against Serbs on the main road passing through the village: “Kill a Serb” and “ZDS – For the Homeland, Ready.”
Glušci is a village that suffered greatly during World War II under the NDH regime, and again in 1991, when many Serbs from this village were arrested and interned in Croatian camps, including the notorious “Lora” camp in Split. A large part of the population left the village as early as 1991, and the remaining Serbs manage as best they can, left alone and forgotten by everyone—except for Croatian extremists who occasionally pass through Glušci.

Appearance and Location of the Camp
The Jasenovac Camp was a death camp located near the town of the same name in the so-called Independent State of Croatia during World War II. It was established in August 1941 and destroyed by the Ustaše in April 1945.
The camp was built between August 1941 and February 1942. Most of it was situated in the town of Jasenovac, about 100 kilometers southeast of Zagreb. Camps I and II were located in the villages of Bročice and Krapje, but they were soon dismantled due to frequent flooding. Prisoners were transferred to the Ciglana Camp (Jasenovac III), which was the largest and included a crematorium. Executions were carried out in Donja Gradina, on the opposite side of the Sava River. A children’s camp was located in Sisak, and a women’s camp in Stara Gradiška, southeast of Jasenovac, although women and children were also held in Jasenovac itself.
