" For every government decision, there was a ministerial order and after every ministerial order, another order or instruction from the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, this is how it works in the Ministry of Defense ," said Mediu.
Further, the former minister, accused of "abuse of office", said that the American company SAC in Gërdec was not only contracted for dismantling, but also for demilitarization, that is, for rendering the ammunition ineffective and harmless.
Standing by the argument for separate and clear legal competencies between the Minister of Defense and the Armed Forces Headquarters, the former minister said that the Armed Forces had the duty to supervise Gërdec.
