One of the schemes and games from Durrës prison where the villain Eri constantly asks you as the mayor to go and be present at the next meeting of the Municipal Council where the budget is discussed.
Today, the full request that Veliaj's "toys" have made in order for their mayor to be present at the meeting has been revealed. The request states that Veliaj must be present on one of the dates from December 16 to 18, 2025.

Honorable representatives of the institutions,
The Tirana Municipal Council, in compliance with its legal obligations and in order to guarantee the regular institutional functioning, is addressing you to request the participation of the Mayor of Tirana, Mr. Erion Veliaj, referring to his request no. 42497 prot., dated 15.12.2025, to participate in the consultation of the 2026-2028 MTBP and the detailing of the budget of the Municipality of Tirana for the year 2026.
According to Law No. 139/2015 "On Local Self-Government", as amended, specifically:
–Article 58, point 4, determines that the Mayor has the right to participate in the meetings of the Municipal Council and to report.
–Article 60, establishes mandatory cooperation between the Mayor and the Municipal Council, on matters of public interest.
Given that the participation of the Mayor is a functional right guaranteed by law, referring to Law No. 68/2017 “On Local Government Finances”, where Article 41 provides that “The Mayor of the local self-government unit prepares the annual draft budget and submits it for approval to the Council of the local self-government unit”, we ask that if restrictive measures are being applied to him, it be assessed:
temporary permission for physical participation on one of the dates from December 16 to 18, 2025.
The Municipal Council is ready to fully cooperate with any security, protocol or logistical requests of your institutions, in order to guarantee a legal, transparent and functional process.
