Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has been charged with war crimes by the special prosecutor’s office in The Hague.
Mr Thaci and nine others “are criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders”, a press release said, as well as torture and enforced disappearances.
The crimes allegedly took place after Kosovo’s independence war in 1999.
Prosecutors said the charges resulted from a “lengthy investigation” and they were confident they can prove “all charges beyond a reasonable doubt”.
Allegations of organ-trafficking against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) were first set out by a former Hague war crimes prosecutor, Carla del Ponte in 2008.
Hashim Thaci was a wartime political leader of the KLA.
