Kurti does not appear in the Special Prosecutor's Office for the case of
Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, did not appear at the Special Prosecutor's Office on December 16, despite the invitation he was given last week to testify today at 9:30 a.m. regarding the case of state reserves.

The spokeswoman of the Special Prosecution, Liridona Kozmaqi, said that the Prime Minister's Office informed them that Kurti is traveling abroad and it is impossible for him to appear.

A day earlier, Kurti had published photos from his visit to Slovenia on social networks.

Four days ago, Radio Free Europe sources in the Special Prosecutor's Office had confirmed that Kurti was invited in connection with the case of state reserves, in which the Minister of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade (MINT), Rozeta Hajdari, is also implicated.

In August last year, several people were arrested on suspicion of misuse of state reserves. Among those arrested were MINT employees.

The raids and arrests were made after the publication of several audio-recordings by the "Nacionale" portal in Kosovo, in which it was claimed that oil contracted and paid for in Poland for Kosovo's state reserves, as well as wheat reserves, had never arrived.

Hajdari had said at the time that purchases for state reserves were made in accordance with the law, but did not provide more details.

Kurti defended Hajdar, saying that "there is no corruption or misuse".

After being invited for an interview at the Special Prosecutor's Office, under suspicions that she has misused her official position regarding state reserves, Hajdari was silently defended in her appearance before the prosecutors.

State reserves consist of flour, oil, sugar, medicines, hygiene products, oil, etc., which can be used in the event of a state of emergency - as a result of natural disasters or wars - but also in the event of a lack of these items in market.

They are managed by the Department of State Reserves of Goods, which operates within the Ministry of Industry, Enterprise and Trade./REL
