This paper analyzes the "Yellow House" case as a specific phenomenon situated at the intersection of war crimes and organized crime in the Western Balkans. It examines how wartime structures during the conflict in Kosovo and Metohija in the late 1990s were transformed into criminal networks for the exploitation of prisoners and civilians for the purpose of organ trafficking. The theoretical framework is based on theories of organized crime and post-conflict transformation, which explain the integration of paramilitary formations into illicit market flows. Methodologically, the study employs qualitative analysis, a case study approach, and content analysis of key documents, primarily the reports by Dick Marty and the allegations put forward by Carla Del Ponte, alongside available documentation from international institutions. The central part of the paper focuses on logistics, operational mechanisms, and the identification of responsible actors. The conclusions highlight the complexity of prosecuting these crimes and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding violations of international humanitarian law, providing a foundation for further research on organized crime in wartime environments.
