It through a statement to the media has clarified Hajdari's reasons for dismissal. Rikalo has said the reason for the decision relates to the issue of corruption.

The reasons for this decision relate to the issue of corruption. I cannot tolerate continuing in this way to destroy the image of the Ministry of Agriculture. The owner in question for a long time is under investigation by police and prosecutors, and from this position, as Agency Director, he cannot exert pressure on investigative processes”, the Serbian minister has said.

Minister Rikalo has said he has initiated six cases of supercontrol, where strong evidence has been offered that companies and farmers have been damaged by the Agency.

Below, read the complete letter:

I have good news for all Kosovo farmers. Mr. Elhami Hajdari is no longer Director of the Agriculture Development Agency. After many complaints and indictments that were addressed by farmers against the work of this agency, as well as confirmation by the prosecution that has opened the process against him, I have made a decision to suspend Mr. Heidi. The reason for this decision relates to the issue of corruption. I cannot tolerate continuing in this way to destroy the image of the Ministry of Agriculture. The gentleman in question for a long time is under investigation by police and prosecutors, and from this position, as Director of the Agency, he cannot exert pressure on the investigative processes.

The entire documentation agency will be in the availability of investigative organs. The investigation could not be stopped by means of corruptive ways through women's employment and threats to applicants. I call on the public and the media to monitor any cases that have been filed against Mr. Heidi.

Also, for the media interested I will offer to access the entire material with documents in the case of the company “Extra Fruit Filings” from Prizren, for which I have ordered to perform the supercontrol, at the request of this company's lawyer for the need of the judicial process, which is directed between the company and the Agriculture Development Agency, concerning the grant that was divided in 2015 at the time I was not charged with the post of the MBPHR minister. Through manipulation of this case, Mr. Hajdari aims to distract his attention from corruption on an imaginary occasion.

I have initiated six cases of supercontrol, where hard evidence has been offered to me that companies and farmers have been damaged by the Agency. Supercontrol is the sole task of proving the current situation, and in this case, the AZHB cannot change the decision it has given itself. So all information from Mr. Hajdari are simple lies and manipulations through which he received attention from journalists and the media to which we have offered full access to documents about this case, while the same provided their fake mirrors and did not reflect the evidence offered by us.

Director of the Agency's duty, Mr. Hajdari's father did not inherit him to take or leave his suspension decision on duty, while now the case is on the Disciplinary Commission for High Government Officials. And it's also over a long period of time under the responsibility of the police and prosecutors who are leading the procedures against the suspended director.
