Here's what the DA took on Nenad Ricalo's case.

Kosovo's Special Prosecutor has ordered the Kosovo Police to interview Albanian residents of a Pristina building who are claiming to have been tortured by the newly appointed Agriculture Minister of Kosovo Government, Nenad Rikalo.

News of the interview of the residents, Rikalo's former neighbours, confirmed BIRN chief Special Prosecutor Reshat Milaku.

We authorized the police to interview the residents. The interviews were conducted at the request of Special Prosecutor”, Milaku said.

Last week, some residents of a collective building in Pristina's “dania” neighbourhood have told KTV that during the 1990s they were tortured by Nenad Ricalo. The charges came days after Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj appointed Rizka in his cabinet to the post of agriculture minister.

Festim Beqiri, one of the residents of this building, said he had twice experienced the tortures of Ricalo twice and that Ricalo had pointed a gun at his already late father.

The charges have raised numerous reactions from politics and society in Kosovo.

Ricalo himself has denied those charges, while the two opposition parties -- the VV and LDK -- have demanded from the prosecution the launch of investigations, while from Ramush Haradinaj his minister's dismissal.

But Haradinaj, in a statement issued last week, defended Minister Rikalo, saying he had asked the Prosecution, AKI and police information about citizens' accusations, but these institutions had no information that he might be involved in such actions.
