Which woman gave Ilir Meta citizenship V IP and what links Haradinaj to passport scandal

Not only do you sing at weddings or have guitar records, but even if you take care of your own home, you're a militant party and you have to travel freely across Europe, for President Ilir Meta it's enough to consider national interests. Albanian. com brings today to document another scandalous and unprecedented case of granting Albanian citizenship by President Ilir Meta, to avoid law and not meet the basic criteria, but with the alibi of national interest.

It's about Mrs. Valdete Bekteshi from Kosovo, equipped with special Albanian VIP citizenship from Ilir Meta, that is, national interest, by decree No. 11331, December 31, 2019, based on the motivation that her husband no longer lives and that she cares for her family, that criteria are enough for Meta to consider him a national personality.

On stage for the first time comes former Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, who has applied to Meta to grant his party's militant citizenship, while Meta has not been thought twice to make the next round. Haradinaj has signed the request in the quality of the incumbent prime minister on September 2nd, 2019, with protocol number 2784, where he describes Bektesh as a powerful and militant woman. She has also been an MP candidate in Kosovo with Ramush Haradinaj's party, but has not won.

At Haradinaj's request, it is said that “expressing my highest considerations for the presidency you are running, let me ask for a review of the request and granting citizenship to Mrs. Vedete Bekteshi, prominent activist from Pristina and an entrepreneur as well. Mrs. Valdete Bekteshi, a powerful mother who cares for her family, has two sons whom she raised without her husband, who does not live.

Valdet is an activist and associate of mine in the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo. Mrs. Bekteshi and two boys Florent and Ylli Bekteshi apply for the Albanian passport, and given the difficulties Kosovo citizens still have for visa equipment to travel to European states, would be great help and relief for developing its business activity, equipping with the Albanian passport”.

According to data found online by Albanian.com, Valdete Bekteshi results in owner of the” Patundity Agent Star”, an activity to sell apartments to Kosovo that does not require any travel abroad. Plus, in any case, it doesn't understand why the subheading is given with the same reasoning for her two sons.

Haradinaj's request was filed by the presidency on September 9th, 2019. On October 31st, 2019, Meta has signed granting Albanian citizenship to Mrs. Becketshi, along with her two sons. Meta has based the decree exactly on Article 9 of the 1998 law, which envisions that “foreigners, who are 18 years old, can be granted Albanian citizenship with naturalisation even if they fail to meet the terms of this law, except for point 6, if the Republic of Albania has a scientific, economic, cultural and national interest.

The case in question, as noted in the request, has no connection with any national interest, only with the lady's personal interest in using an Albanian passport to move visa-free to European countries. In Kosovo, there are thousands of women who want to move without visas and who can care for the family, but who have not found mechanization to move Meta.

The way of granting citizenship to three people in question once again confirms our investigation into the Presidential passport scandal, rejecting Meta's claims that the citizens of state with extraordinary procedure and without meeting the legal conditions are” family members of the KLA witnesses and prominent Albanian artists and intellectuals in Kosovo, northern Macedonia and Diasporas”.

In the same form, by abusing this legal space, Meta has granted citizenship to other 419 people. Also on this list is Arsim Ramadani, sentenced to 30 years in prison with a decided form cut for the murder of a family of five members with three children. Strange is the case of Tirana's African football player Winful Esua Joseph Cobbina, endowed with citizenship V IP from Ilir Meta within eight hours, ignoring the implementation of security protocols, a legal requirement envisioned at Article 6 of the citizenship law. Meta equipped Cobbina with Albanian citizenship on September 28, 2020, while the African had been taken to court for falsification of residence permit in Albania.
