While the prosecution institutions have not secured the presence of the former deputy prime minister, Artan Grubi, in front of justice bodies, political clashes continue on where Grubi is potentially hiding and who has knowledge of his whereabouts. Recently, the prime minister, Hristian Mickoski, has stressed that Ali Ahmeti has regular communication with Grubin and advised him to return to the country and face justice.

“When Grubi will return, I don't know, as far as I can hear Mejeji, he said Ahmeti has regular communication with Grub, and perhaps he should give an answer on his return. I would like him to come back today, because the only way to answer all questions is to be present and answer.”, the prime minister, Mickoski, for Alsat-m television.
