This is the next delay in a process that has been postponed for 8 months, while Veliaj has used every method to achieve his goal.

"We want an open trial and the case to be public," declared the SPAK defendant, also Erion Veliaj's lawyer, Plarent Ndreca.

Meanwhile, the doors of the court are not closed to anyone who wants to attend or go see it. It is even better to do it at the Sports Palace or the Congress Palace, there is no problem for the public to attend.

No one has stopped Erion Veliaj from doing this. The problem is that Erion Veliaj himself is not going to court, because if he had appeared at the hearings, the trial would have ended.

With 13 charges for 5 serious criminal offenses, Erion Veliaj has evaded justice, with 1001 tricks, ways and maneuvers to drag out the process.

We emphasize that Erion Veliaj's file has been going to trial since July, and we are currently in April. So 8 months since Veliaj's file went to trial, it would have been judged, the trial would have been over. But Erion Veliaj is a coward and a coward who is afraid of facing justice, trying to postpone the moment as much as possible.

Meanwhile, if he were to face the evidence and justice after 8 months, he would not even need to request a change in his security measure, because he would either have been declared innocent or convicted and would have done his job. / CNA
