A person who believes in his innocence goes and faces justice with facts, with evidence, follows the process, goes to the hearing, finds witnesses to defend himself. There are those who admit guilt, have a summary trial, and quickly close the process. There are cases where the processes continue, but the main thing is facing justice. Facing the prosecutors in court. If they bring an accusation against you, they have their facts and evidence, you have to bring witnesses to refute those facts and evidence and prove that you are innocent. This is what happens in justice. But this is not happening with Erion Veliaj.
It's been a year since the case was brought to court, and it should be noted that the trial has not yet begun. Witnesses are not being called, the trial is being postponed, dozens of lawyers have been changed, then the defendant, lawyer Plarent Ndreca, falls ill, then Erion Veliaj doesn't show up, one of the lawyers for the other party doesn't show up.
This clearly shows us that there is a strategy to postpone the process indefinitely, to not hold hearings with witness questions. And the case of Erion Veliaj is exemplary. It is an example of how you can not be tried and justice can be dragged out with procedures and technicalities to not try a defendant with 13 serious criminal charges.
Let's look at the other cases. We have Ilir Meta, who was arrested on October 21, 2024. Ilir Meta is being tried today, he is calling witnesses. Court hearings are held week after week. Questions are asked, there are debates, there is evidence, there are facts, there are objections. And although the investigation against Ilir Meta has not only lasted six months and has not been brought to court with the first legal space, but the investigations against Ilir Meta have been extended at the moment after he was arrested on behalf of SPAK after the court's decision. A process that is proceeding in justice with the problems, the accusations that Ilir Meta has, with the problems of Monika Kryemadhi, the other defendants, the witnesses, but the hearings are taking place.
On the other hand, the trial against Sali Berisha. A trial that is taking place, fair hearings, witnesses, people who are called, most recently former minister Ylli Pango, people who hold positions, want the process to move forward, to be brought to the end. SPAK has its accusations, the accused parties have their facts and evidence and the process is moving forward.
Even Ilir Beqaj, who has two trials, in one he is in a cage, in the other outside. His trials are progressing. The only one who is not conducting a trial, after 1 year since the file was submitted to the court, but endlessly postpones the hearings, is Erion Veliaj. Party comrades, not in cells, but they are not the same in the justice system. Erion Veliaj seems to be the most pampered, he will drag out the process and drag it out, we have been seeing him every week or every two weeks for almost a year.
Supposedly with the cage story, that CNA has explained the Strasbourg decision, he does not go to the hearings. It is former president Ilir Meta, he is in the cage there and does not speak. He has started to fight the battle with justice, not to argue or find schemes and technicalities. Because for better or worse, there is no question that Ilir Meta is more of a man than Erion Veliaj. At least before justice, perhaps for many other things as well.
Ilir Meta has decided to go and face justice. Not to postpone the hearings and play the role of a clown, a coward, a public clown. He has chosen to be dignified. Sali Berisha goes to court, his witnesses are called, the parties go, the lawyers conduct the hearings. A very big difference with what he says outside when he comes out or what they say when they leave the court. Inside the hearings they are correct, the trials are taking place.

While for Erion Veliaj, the trial is not held. Lightning strikes Plarent Ndreca, or his throat falls, popularly, the SPAK defendant, Zdroms' lawyer, the session is not held. But the trials were postponed for months and months, get a lawyer, leave a lawyer, bring a lawyer, bring a lawyer in. Mess with jingle bells.
A man who is courageous, honest and pure, goes and faces justice with due process. Even if he has made a mistake, he would gain many more points if he stood dignified in front of the court.
Without further ado, he should have the manliness to take responsibility for his mistakes, his guilt, and perhaps even exonerate his wife, the businessmen, and anyone else who may be dragging this legal process, which is actually the delay that Erion Veliaj is causing with the justice system, from the charges.
Zdromsi does not want the trial to take place and the trial is not taking place, but is being delayed./CNA
