Again I note that this is Carla Del Ponte, a woman accused that as head of the ICTY she targeted Serbia:
"In fact, an excellent case can be made that the ICTY's focus on "justice" was well suited to avoiding peace, and that its very design was to facilitate war, a dismantling of Yugoslavia, and a specific attack on Serbia.
Your link implies the opposite: that she wanted Karadžić to turn himself in so that he stays alive, warning that otherwise NATO would want to kill him.
Del Ponte said that she received "some evidence that it (the Karadzic - Holbrook agreement) is true". "If this is true, then it only confirms the assumption even more, that Karadzic was to killed", added Carla del Ponte. She, according to the stenograph, said that Karadzic needs to have the possibility to defend himself in a normal court process, but not to kill him.

Del Ponte book promotion vetoed Switzerland's ambassador to Argentina, Carla Del Ponte, has been told by the Swiss foreign ministry she cannot promote a new book. The former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague was asked to return to Buenos Aires before a scheduled presentation in Milan on Sunday. The foreign ministry said there were statements in "The Hunt: Me and War Criminals", written with New York Times reporter Chuck Sudetic, that were incompatible with Del Ponte's status as an official government representative.

From your second link:
Religious Intelligence - News - Serbs 'were killed and their organs were sold'
According to Del Ponte's new book, The Hunt: Me and War Crimes, it is claimed that both the former chief prosecutor and her team of investigators were informed that 300 Serbs were abducted and taken to prison camps in northern Albania where the younger ones were picked out, killed and then had their organs removed for trafficking in various parts of Europe.
That sounds like dozens killed & organ-harvested out of 300. So one of Doug M's points of doubt may be based on a misinterpretation in repeated translation and re-reporting. (For the record, I myself had one doubt that Doug didn't have: 300 'sets' of organs suddenly appearing on the black market seem too much to go unnoticed.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Anyway the IHT article linked in the diary mentions explicitly in its intro paragraph dozens of cases:
Serbia's war crimes prosecutor is looking into reports that dozens of Serbs captured by rebels during the war in Kosovo were killed so their organs could be trafficked, the prosecutor's office said Friday.
BTW there is no doubt in my mind that in the Serbian folklore inevitably coming out of this, the 300 number will stick. Again we'll have to wait for the book. The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom - William Blake
