The former Minister of Defense, Fatmir Mediu, appeared today in the Special Court, where the hearing on the 'Gërdeci' case will take place.
The media is accompanied by his lawyer, while the hearing is expected to start shortly.
In the hearing held on January 10, the former director of the MEICO enterprise, Ylli Pinari, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the Gërdec massacre, was released after 6 years in a cell, and who blamed the entire responsibility on the Armed Forces.
While the former minister, Fatmir Mediu, who was charged by GJKKO for the Gërdec massacre, told reporters that the reports of the National Security Council on the Gërdec case should be declassified, a week after the tragedy.
Regarding the testimony given by Pinari, Mediu said that with what he presented, it is shown that the Minister of Defense had no role in the Gërdec massacre as far as security is concerned.
Pinari said in court that the Armed Forces did not properly implement the orders of the Ministry of Defense, but the order itself was violated.
Referring to this testimony, Mediu stated that this session showed that he has never overlooked the role of the Armed Forces in this process.
"Mr. Pinari was one of the most important witnesses of what happened in Gërdec and I requested this in the name of logic and in the name of justice. I believe that in relation to this issue we all have the obligation to say what the truth is. I have been spared for years, a lot of mud has been thrown, a lot of insinuations have been made, but today it seems that it has nothing to do with the minister's implications or interests. The minister has no acquaintance with either the Albanian or the American company, he has never violated the authority of the Armed Forces to avoid them from the process", Mediu told the media last week.
According to Mediu, the court session showed that he, in the role of Minister of Defense, implemented the VKM, but also international laws and obligations, while the dismantling process in Gërdec was initiated and prepared by the General Staff of the FA.
