Former Minister of Defense, Fatmir Mediu, testified this Monday at the Special Court, in the trial against former Prime Minister Sali Berisha and co-defendants in the "Partizani" file.
During his testimony, Mediu stated that Sport Klub Partizani had not been part of his interest while he was leading the Ministry of Defense. He emphasized that the institution he led had not spent any funds on the sports club.
"The minister is a political authority, he does not want any dependence. We were maximally committed to Albania's membership in NATO," he declared, adding that the ministry he headed did not spend a single penny on Sport Klub Partizan.
The former minister also focused on the privatization process of the sports complex, claiming that the initiative to launch the procedures was taken by the previous government.
"The start of the privatization process was at the request of the Ministry of Economy of the SP government," said Mediu.
