Witness: For a working visa in Germany, I paid over a thousand euros, Milaim Zeka told me to present the case to the police

Bytyqi said he went to the agency “Ilr Krasniqi& Milaim Zeka” to be equipped with a visa for work in Germany and paid 1050 euros but was not equipped with visas, nor was the money compensated for it.

Bytyqi said that this agency had spoken to Blerta Sferkaj, who had shown him the application procedure for work and visa profit, but later it was not equipped with visas.

According to Bytyqi, he had contacted “viber”, with now accused Ilir Krasniqi, who had promised him within 10 days to obtain a visa, and later told him within three months.

Since Krasniqi's promise had not been realised, Bytyqi said he had investigated to see if this agency was legal and had sought information in the Kosovo Tax Administration, where he confirmed that this subject had been legal and there he realized Milaim Zeka was also part of the agency.

He said that after July 15th 2017, when he had not been able to contact Krasniqi, he had gone to meet Milaim Zeka.

According to Bytyqi, the two indictees had been pushed to each other for who is to blame, adding that Milamim Zeka told Ilir Krasniqi that “is a fraud”, while Ilir Krasniqi had told him Zeka “had taken to the neck”.

The injured Bytyqi said that at the meeting with Zeka they had talked about the agency and the same had asked for explanations regarding the visa work, since in the enamel that ATK had also sent to Milaim Zeka, the name of Milaim Zeka reports “Justice betim”.

“I contacted Milaim Zeka after seeing that his name figures in this agency, and from the moment the contact was contacted, Milaim told me you went to the police and presented the case against Ilir Krasniqi with the reason that the same was misusing Zeka's name” he said.

But, Bytyqi said he didn't go to the police, because something strange had happened to him the same day, when he was contacted by a police official at “Wiber” and told him that “if you had something for this case you should contact me that I am the investigator who handles this case”

Bytyqi said he'd been at work right now and had just returned the words of the same investigative official that if he wants to talk to him, I'll call him through an official number.

He said that all these conversations are preserved, and in the question of Judge Mustaf Tahiri's question of whether he delivered the same to the police, the injured replied “to the police when they called to the viber”.

The same question asked by prosecutor Father and Dema whether he had later gone to the police, answered that after three months on September 5, 2017, he had gone to the police and witnessed to the investigator who had contacted him at “viber”.

The injured man said the police behaviour had been correct and that he never felt threatened, but he was only afraid of responsible persons because their power and economic strength were known, while, according to him, they had written to the officers in “ ”.

He said that in the signed agreement and the payment received at the agency, where he applied for work visas in Germany, he had not figured out the name of the agency “Ir Krasniqi&Milaim Zeka”, but only the name “Ir Krasniqi Op”.

The accused Zeka asked Bytyqi whether he remembered that at the meeting at “Sweis Diamond”, he had told him and someone who was with him to take the liberty of gathering and present the case to the police.

Bytyqi said this is true after Zeka told him to announce the case.

While, in terms of the fee made at 1050 euros, Bytyqi said it had only been the first payment, since if it had been equipped with visas it would have to under the agreement it had with the agency, the same tê paid another 2,500 euros, totaling 3,500 euros.

Bytyqi said he felt disappointed waiting for a working visa when seven months had passed and had been told to wait constantly.

He said he had met Milaim Zeka because at the agency it was the number of the show “through the scroll”, and that number had been the same in the “PRP”, as well as in the account of “Ir Krasniqi Op”.

According to Bytyqi, he had demanded the money he had paid because during his meeting with Zeka, he said they had discussed the agency.

<x) And then a month later the communiqué with Milaim”, Bytyqi said.

According to him, during his meeting with Zeka, he had later instructed him to present the case to the police with reasoning that Ilir Krasniqi is not reporting and mistaking his name, and that his office, which he had in Zeka's object, had shut down that he was misleading Albanians.
