An erotic video has been published today on social networks, where the elected mayor, the president of FK Kukës, Safet Gjici, appears.

In fact, it was initially reported that this was a video that was going to appear on an investigative show, on a national television, but it is learned that yesterday the video was not shown and the show was changed, but then the video was leaked, it was shared endlessly during the day today on social networks.

The mayor has been dismissed, but in the meantime he also announced his resignation from office, apologizing for the video.

The opposition immediately reacted by demanding that elections be announced in the municipality of Kukës and held as soon as possible.

On the other hand, the media close to the Government are trying to shed light on who the person or the author of the video is and why he did it, calling it blackmail, fines and others.

But there is already a fact, Safet Gjici has been dismissed and it is expected that elections will be held in Kukës.

When can the elections for the municipality of Kukës be held?

According to the official data that CNA has provided from the CEC, it is clarified that first the vacancy must be declared, that is, the Prefect of the Kukës District must notify the government that the position of the Mayor is vacant after the resignation or dismissal of Safet Gjic, it depends on what the procedure is. which will be recognized by the Prefect.

Then, the Government notifies the President of the Republic. The President of the Republic has only 48 hours to announce the date of the elections.

The election date cannot be later than 45 days or less than 30 days, from the day the President received the notification.

So, in case we go to the normal procedure, if the prefect of Kukës declares a holiday on Monday, the days for the Government to notify the Head of State, the two days of the President and the deadline that goes from 30 to 45 days will have to be counted for Mr. Bajram Begaj, President of the Republic to announce the elections.

Which means that everything can go in the middle of August, at the maximum possible announcement of the vacancy and the complete closure of the procedure until the announcement of the date of the elections by the President of the Republic, Mr. Begaj./ CNA.al
