To clarify once again the work of the Constitutional Court's wiretapping.

1. As far as I'm concerned, I've only told the truth, that there is a wiretapping warrant. This warrant is available to the media, from where I was informed, and can now be read by the public.

2. I can also explain to you that under written law, no wiretapping or surveillance can be authorized without a proceeding having been registered beforehand. Which means that the warrant for wiretapping or surveillance in question was issued only after a proceeding had been registered beforehand. In fact, the very content of the warrant suggests this.

3. This type of authorization for wiretapping on the aforementioned legal basis, in order to be legal, is done by court decision and not by prosecutor's order. Not that there would be any essential difference in the conditions we live in, but at least formally the law should be respected.

No, this is the legal situation.

As for me, I have given them authorization to wiretap me as often as they want without any decision. How they want and when they want.

The fact is that the issue that we have raised in the Constitutional Court has been a major, perhaps the biggest, legal issue of the time. I would like to remind you here that European jurisprudence has the same debate. We feel good about this, together with our wonderful team of lawyers. We have done the work that our colleagues in Europe have also done.

But nowhere in Europe has the Prosecutor's Office exerted pressure on the decision-making of the courts. This made this big issue speak in the ugliest possible Albanian.

The only regret we have is that we did not find any court in Albania that is at the level of the courts of Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, and if you want, even Italy, Montenegro, and beyond.

We found pressured courts that decide in the consulting room and paved the way for state pressure.

That's it.
