The Special Court has dismissed Fatmir Mediu's request to remove the victims' families from the Gerdec trial.
The next hearing was held today and Fatmir Mediu seems to have been very annoyed by the presence of his family members, who are demanding that he be held accountable.
But the GJKKO has rejected his request and the family members will continue to be present.
" Everything that is done in this hall has only one purpose, to hold a public trial. Since tragedy always creates opinion. If you have decided to judge by opinion and not by procedure and criminal code, then this process has failed. I do not accept that on behalf of the family members it becomes political, I have nothing against the family members, I am even open to them for any questions they have. If justice would like to do justice, there are some documents on the entire dismantling process. These are not facts. The two American teams that have assisted the Armed Forces for 15 years, the NATO commander in Tirana, if those who thought of how to carry out the dismantling acts did not call in while those scientific experts who could not even read, and testified, then this is not a judicial process to create only a perception, public opinion, saying "a mock trial is being held". Meanwhile, I am accused of abuse of office ", said Mediu.
