He has even said that Beqiri had not even allowed a minute of silence to be kept when Trife was killed.

There are people behind LDKA who have been directly linked to Enver Sekiraq. No, this LDK is today, but it will. The mayor doesn't have another minute when they've proposed when Treumfi was killed. Its Beqiri has no way of holding a minute of silence. So he's got his own face on the side of what it is and they were connected to this”, he declared Riza.
