Several kidney transplantations have been conducted in Tirana. In the same hospital, out of 75 patients 35 are kept while the others were transported to Italy (25) and Austria (15) where they waited for the transplant. Serbian prosecutor's office as one of the evidences for claims of existence of organs implies the statement of Dr. Sulejman Kodra, Head of the Department of Transplantation University Hospital "Mother Teresa" in Tirana, who stated for Top News television that cases of transplantation of organs from unknown donors were recorded, however the "surgeons cannot be responsible for this."
