After the session at GJKKO for Gërdec, the former Minister of Defense Fatmir Mediu spoke to the media where he stated that the process against him is political, while he demands that a new expert report be carried out.
Mediu said that for 16 years he has been subjected to personal and family persecution in violation of the law.
"I think that the political trial was made by politics. If SPAK has come to the idea of balances of political punishments, I don't think it is justice anymore. What SPAK is looking for in the accusation happens only in military juntas", he said, among other things.
" I will tell you that today, for 16 years, a personal and family persecution continues, contrary to the law, with political statements, that Mediu was the cause of Gërdec. And according to the accusation, I had to know where Gërdeci was, what the soldiers were doing, who the guards were, how the dismantling was done, etc.
Those who have supported this position, who are in power today, when the prosecution summoned them to the accusation, do not even know their collaborators and do not bear responsibility for the signatures they have given. While I resigned, it was a moral act, but it cannot be misused for interests and political manipulation of this process.
I'm telling you, KLSH and Audit have been checked in min. of Defense and have not found any violations. What does the Prosecutor's Office accuse me of, which is copied and pasted by these illegal and unlicensed experts, that the SAC company is not registered in taxes and has avoided paying 4,000 euros. I was not a tax inspector. It has been said that the company does not have an environmental permit, I became the Minister of the Environment in 2019 and I was not an inspector.
Through illegal experts, it is said that SAC has chosen neither the public procurement law, nor the government's decisions, nor the procedure nor the contractual responsibility that the law defines for the selection of the company in a procedure that lasted 16 months.
The Ministry has issued an order, not concluded a contract. In a session, we clarified and proved with documents and facts that the minister had no knowledge and had not even chosen Gërdec.
Why do they refuse to do an expert report, why do they need a process built on a falsified evidence? Because they want a political process, they do witch hunts.
None of those who made order 550 have been punished. What is this ministry, with a minister, without a civil and military structure.
I think that politics has made the political trial. If SPAK has come to the idea of balances of political punishments, I don't think it is justice anymore. What SPAK demands in the accusation happens only in military junta", said Mediu.
