Why are Veliaj's lawyers being ridiculous?

2025-08-28 20:56:00, Editorial CNA

Legal defense, facing justice, is a solution for individuals who are accused and Erion Veliaj has chosen a law firm despite being in a conflict of interest. The law firm that defends Erion Veliaj with its own client .

This is in line with what CNA has previously reported, because one of the accusations that the mayor of Tirana has already received, following a decision by the Administrative Court, has come precisely from the director, shareholder of the law firm that defends Erion Veliaj, and it is in this article that you can read ( HERE) .

The law firm has its solutions, but the way it is being communicated, reported, is becoming ridiculous . We made fun of it by saying that Erion Veliaj was looking for ice cream, with the post and reaction he made the day before. The points were clear . mr. Veliaj's lawyers said that the client cannot access the acts because they were given on USB.

In fact, the question arises: When did Veliaj's lawyers receive the USB and the acts?! Because they are scanned documents that were given on a USB, because the number of pages goes to 60 thousand , according to what the media reported. After a month and a week, Veliaj's lawyers remembered to report on the USB. Did they receive the USB with the minutes? Do they have any complaints in these minutes, which they do not agree to receive on the USB, should they also be given in printed form, in hardcopy form as it is called?

Yesterday they told us that Erion Veliaj cannot access them. Why didn't the lawyers print them for their client a month and a few days ago? Or why didn't they send a request to the General Directorate of Prisons or the director of the relevant prison, to access a computer, Mr. Veliaj, where there was only the Word program, PDF to read the relevant acts with USB? Did they do this? To show us that they are serious and not for laughing. That it is ridiculous, mocking, insulting.

Maybe Mr. Veliaj likes this game and hopes that he will succeed in Strasbourg, but Strasbourg cannot save him from prison, or the decision that the Albanian court will give. Strasbourg can seize some procedure, but is it a procedure and a legal error that the documents were given on a USB and after a month and a few days the lawyers come out and say that the client cannot access them?! Yes, they have the documents there, on a USB, they should go and print them. Because hundreds and thousands of euros are paid for the protection of the mayor of Tirana. They should provide service to their client, deliver the documents as they should. They have received them for more than a month and a week.

Why are they making fun of their client?! Why are they being ridiculous and saying that he can't access them?! Why didn't these lawyers print those documents and deliver them in a box or ask for the computer?! Why didn't they do this? Because there are no fools in Strasbourg.

The second thing that makes them laughable is the fact that they say why lawyers are not accepted. Erion Veliaj's law firm and the mayor himself should be well aware of the legal limitations that the defense has. It can be done by only two lawyers. Why does Erion have to have 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... 10? He has two, he has them by proxy, they are both there. Artur Selmani and Ermir Beta. There are two lawyers, now he wants a third.

No, the law does not allow it! Is there a solution? Of course. One of the lawyers can resign, go with authorization and appoint a foreign lawyer, but still, according to the law, he must be from an EU country. Great Britain is not in the EU, the United States of America is not in the EU. So, lawyers from these two countries cannot come. An American lawyer can register with a European law firm and can come to defend Veliaj. But still, one of Erion Veliaj's lawyers must leave.

Because both are very funny, as lawyers know, but it seems clear that more than "they are raising eyebrows, they are gouging out the eyes" of the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, often mentioning the sentence: he is obstructing the exercise of his duty. In which exercise of duty? In the one that destroyed the evidence with Klotilda Bushka?

The one who attacked prosecutors from prison with "fake news" ? Which one? Let the lawyers tell us that so far they have been reduced to USB and they brought it up as an argument after a month or more. While they repeat the same rhetoric, "foreign lawyers are not allowed, unfairly" and "unfairly not allowed to go to work".

Erion Veliaj cannot go to work because there is a court decision from the fact to the Supreme Court, which is in the cell . There is also an Albanian state law regarding lawyers and Mr. Veliaj's law firm is also aware of this .

But this repetition of theirs seems like a salad that they are chopping without stopping in the hope that Strasbourg will help them. In fact, they are not doing anything, they are simply showing that they do not have any great ability in defending the mayor, who in fact often looks ridiculous with these posts and stances .

Attitudes that sometimes make Erion Veliaj's media confidant, Mero Bazen, laughable, so much so that the mayor of Tirana's latest reaction was not even able to write an editorial .
