Pristina , Kosovo ( CNN ) -- Kosovo 's prime minster lashed out at critics Monday over a recent report alleging that officials may have stolen organs from prisoners of war and political rivals , calling it `` pure fabrication . '' European authorities charged in a report released last week that executives who control the country may have stolen organs when the Kosovo Liberation Army was fighting Serbian forces in the late 1990s . `` It is a political accusation based on no facts or proof , '' Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said . `` Therefore , it is a pure fabrication . '' The report says Thaci , a former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army , was the `` boss '' of a prominent faction in the militia that `` apparently wrested control '' of `` illicit criminal enterprises '' from rivals across the border in Albania . `` Numerous indications seem to confirm that ... organs were removed from some prisoners ... to be taken abroad for transplantation , '' read the report . It suggested that illegal organ trafficking continued after the war ended . And links between `` criminal activity '' and `` certain KLA militia leaders ... has continued , albeit in other forms , until today , '' the report charges . Thaci said he is looking into all legal and political possibilities to correct what he sees as the report 's inaccuracies . It was not immediately clear what action he planned to take . `` It is a lie for which Dick Marty will be accountable , '' the prime minister said of the author of the draft report . Nearly 1,900 people who disappeared during the conflict still have not been found , and another 500 disappeared after NATO troops arrived in June 1999 , according to Marty . The report is based partially on investigations by European Union officials and was written for the Council of Europe 's Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights . European Union officials in Kosovo have said that anyone with concrete evidence of war crimes or organized crime should step forward . Kosovo was a province of Serbia but declared independence in 2008 . About 70 countries have recognized the declaration , but Serbia does not , and international organizations including the United Nations and European Union continue to have administrators in Kosovo . The Council of Europe , an organization with 47 member countries , seeks to promote democracy and human rights . The council 's parliament plans to debate the report in January . `` This ( report ) of course is a blow ( for Kosovo ) , but this challenge will be overcome because it has nothing in common with the truth , and the truth is that Kosovo is a story of success , '' Thaci said .
