President Bajram Begaj has reacted to accusations by the head of the Democratic Party parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, that he is employed at a private clinic from which he receives a salary.

Begaj says he does not comment on the political initiatives of the parties, regarding the DP's procedure for initiating his dismissal, but adds that the DP's accusations are untrue, and that he is open to a professional and transparent investigation.

Presidency's reaction:

The public was informed today of an initiative by the Democratic Party to begin the parliamentary procedure for the dismissal of the President of the Republic.

The President of the Republic does not comment on the political initiatives of any party, because such a thing is not consistent with the neutrality of the high constitutional function. He has chosen to exercise the presidential mandate, uninfluenced under any circumstances by attacks for political interests, or by the fabrication of untruths for public consumption.

The President of the Republic respects all other constitutional institutions, even when they take positions contrary to the positions held by the President of the Republic in the exercise of his constitutional duty.

The procedure for dismissing the President of the Republic from office is a constitutional instrument of Parliament. Parliament is free and sovereign to exercise it whenever it deems it justified.

 The President of the Republic feels obligated to respond to parliament with all the seriousness and honesty that this procedure imposes.

The Democratic Party parliamentary group promoted its initiative today by publishing claims about facts that are not true.

 The President of the Republic expects Parliament to investigate them with professionalism and full transparency. This should not be done as an obligation to the high office of the Head of State, but as an obligation to the truth and the public interest.
