The gift Hoxha, former European Integration Minister, has spoken of the indictment filed against her and five other state officials for misuse of official office. Kosovo's special prosecutor according to Hoxha has not sent the indictment until she is innocent.

No, I didn't accept the charge. The day the indictment was filed I was reported by the media. So I didn't take any official notice from the Special Prosecutor. Then, the prosecution called one day after my lawyer and told him you could take the file, but the indictment wasn't given to me or my lawyer, said Hoxha.

And as far as the indictment and what I've read, I don't think the minimum elements of the suspicion criteria based on raising the indictment have been fulfilled either for me or for other colleagues with whom we are in this”, she told RTV21.

We are all innocent and, to the precise extent, have respected the Public Procurement Law, she added.
