Lekaj said he feels innocent because it was not his decision, but the government's, until he mentioned the allegations the ruling VV party had made.
There's a lot of room in this direction for someone to take responsibility, if there's justice to say at the end. There may be political powers, of this mandate, the next mandate, but without facing trial they have no escape that there are abuses. I can't help but be told, I've been accused of saying I've taken that money home. I have found that journey, I have found only 10km of road, I have found the debt created and I have not made the decision, the government of Kosovo has taken it with 23 ministers and prime minister and authorized me to pay off my obligations to “Bechtel-Enka”. Today if that decision had not been made, the road would have been 10km built, pulled down because the contract envisions arbitration and arbitration is required 5-6 times the price of Kosovo”, Lekaj said in Periscopi.
“I told the citizens I'm calm, I feel innocent is not my decision is the government's decision, but if I were prime minister I had made the same decision to save the country”, Lekaj added.
