The only really significant Kosovo Albanian to stand up and protest about this was Surroi, for which he earned death threats. In the next few months Serbs left virtually all towns in Kosovo and in most places elsewhere retreated into enclaves such as , , and /Gorazhdevc. For many years, but depending on where they lived, freedom of movement was difficult, but it became much easier in the latter years of the UN period.

Almost nine years after the end of the war, Carla Del Ponte, the former chief prosecutor of the UN’s war crimes tribunal in The Hague, said in a book published in Italy that she had received credible reports, with compelling circumstantial evidence, that soon after NATO arrived in Kosovo some 300 Kosovo Serbs were abducted and taken to Albania, and that some of them were murdered after organs had been taken from their bodies to sell. No bodies were found, however. The tribunal could not proceed due to jurisdictional limitations and a lack of further leads, and neither the future UNMIK nor the Kosovo or Albanian authorities carried the investigation further. The Swiss foreign ministry subsequently banned Del Ponte, Switzerland’s ambassador to Argentina, from promoting the book.
