At the same time, in the capacity of the person responsible for this procurement, it seems that he continued to favor family members by ordering the construction of a bridge ... for her sister. She asked the contractor to build a custom bridge over the stream that runs right by her sister's apartment.

For this, Mrs. Islamaj forced the road maintenance technician, Agim Demiraj, to assist the builder by showing him the place where her sister's house is, to follow the works, and to insist to the builder that the bridge be finished as soon as possible.

However, Demiraj refused to be involved in the violation of the law, given that the construction of the bridge for the mayor's sister was not part of the procurement procedure.

For this refusal, the acting mayor will "take revenge" on Agim Demiraj by transferring him from the city of Bajram Curri to the village of Lekbibaj, 20 kilometers round trip from the city, despite the fact that he had about 3 decades of work in the Municipality of Tropoja and was on the verge of retirement .

The involvement of Islamaj in the construction of the family bridge for the sister was also accepted by the contractor who carried out the works, stating that "the construction of the bridge for the sister of the president was not in the tendering procedures and that the latter would do it". gift".

The acting mayor of Tropoja municipality to resign immediately and to start investigative procedures by the relevant agencies.
