The Special Prosecution Office has denied the allegations made by the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, regarding the summons for the "January 21" case.

SPAK reports that the first subpoena, sent on November 3 to the apartment, was returned to the Special Prosecution Office with the note that "the guards were authorized not to take any envelopes."

After this, the summons was sent on November 7 to the apartment, the DP headquarters and the Assembly. The prosecution reports that two days later, the receipt of the envelope sent to the apartment was refused.

Meanwhile, on November 12, SPAK says that the Human Resources and Treatment of Deputies Service in the Albanian Parliament has announced that the receipt of the summons has been rejected by the Democratic Party parliamentary group.

SPAK's reaction:
