“KKP finally put the process on the right track, even though we insisted. That's a good sign. I believe in justice because in my conclusions, many facts had been distorted, which the commission will restore to the legal situation and I want to reconfirm in office. That's what I believe in.

It's a fact widely known when I broke up as a judge and I was part of the CEC, I was threatened. There are writings from people I have condemned.

Especially in this part, KKP should be very careful. I'm not saying to avoid investigating the truth but to see this also”, the Tirana judge said.
