This has been linked to the last two cases, where the indictment for ministers Paul Lekaj has been filed for corruption for the period of being the head of Gjakova, and Besim Beqaj in the “Proto” case. Earlier, the indictment was set up for Economic Development Minister Valdrin Luka.
For them, there are criminal claims. For Beqaj, it's about corruption, but about other matters. Beqaj has nothing to do with corruption but other issues. With the current code of criminal procedure, no confirmation of the indictment is provided. However, we have a confirmation at the first session in which the arguments are presented, and then it is decided whether there are elements for continuing judgment. If you continue, I consider that no official should remain in position”, Tahiri has declared.
Arton Demhay from the “Arise” has said that for now everything remains a matter of personal will to leave office. He has included Istog chairman Haki Rugova, who comes from the LDK ranks, to whom an indictment of conflict of interest arose days ago.
