Dorian Matlija, the lawyer of the Durda family, a family which lost its son in the tragedy of Gërdec in 2008, said that the family is now a party in the criminal case and will fight side by side to seek justice.
'The history of victim participation in criminal cases is a very long struggle. Victims are part of the process and are side by side to choose the case. He would make a public announcement. They have rights to write anything. It is a victory for the Durda family, as it has made efforts a long time ago. New evidence cannot be introduced at summary judgment. In ordinary judgement, anything can happen. I want to say that the interest of family members is consistently. Only the truth frees people.'- said Matlija.
Meanwhile, Zamira Durda said that this is a small victory for them. She said her son was killed on the orders of the minister.
'A small victory. Let's see how it will go. Evidence is public. The weapons came on the order of the minister and they killed my son,' said Durda.
