The Special Prosecutor's win towards the prime minister is a serious development that must be dealt with carefully and without prejudice. This invitation underscores the importance of the independence of justice institutions and the need for full transparency in processes related to senior state officials”, he said.

Among other things, in terms of government statements that this invitation is an attempt to influence the election, Lekaj says such an attitude is controversial and may seem like an attempt to divert attention from the main issue.

On the other hand, he says Kurti and the government should co-operate with institutions to clarify the issue, indicating they respect law and rule of law.

“As for government statements that this invitation is an attempt to influence elections, such an attitude is controversial and can be seen as an attempt to divert attention from the main issue. Instead of accusing justice of political motives, it would be better for the prime minister and the government to co-operate with institutions to clarify the issue, showing that they respect law and rule of law”, he added.

The MP says citizens have the right to know the truth and justice should do its job without any interference or political pressure.

“After all, citizens have the right to know the truth, and justice should do its job without any interference or political pressure. This is a test of the maturity of our institutions and devotion to a functional democracy”, Lekaj concluded for Blic newspaper.
