An office-home or home-office, these are the two scenarios of Sali Berisha to once again challenge the expected measure of house arrest that SPAK can impose.
Thus, he can be "imprisoned" at the headquarters of the Democratic Party. The former prime minister has put some ideas on the table with his confidants on how he will face justice, in relation to the "Partizani" case, which is suspected of passive corruption.
Top Channel has learned from confidential official sources that one of Berisha's approaches being discussed is to turn his office in the blue headquarters into an isolation room where he will serve his sentence.
Berisha's office may change with the order of judges. In case of agreement between Berisha and supporters for this idea, furniture will have to be added to the office. There will not only be a table with files and a chair as well as a reception sofa, but spaces must be created for Berisha's bed. This is seen as a good option from the re-establishment by giving the address of the headquarters as a place of residence, while the OPGJ also found it difficult to find a fixed residence owned by Berisha to communicate the measure of restriction of freedom.
Another variant is thought to be the return of the family home where he lives, to an office. Berisha himself has warned that whatever the decision of SPAK, he will not give up the leadership of the Democratic Party.
Today's appearance of Berisha with a different attitude stating that he will not recognize the SPAK decision confirms a culminating situation. Just as he has refused to appear in the court hearings against him, Berisha may not refuse the execution of the sentence and the harsher measure of imprisonment, despite the passing of the age of 70. But even though these are not the best days for Berisha, he does not hesitate to invite journalists to a festive meeting for the end of the year in his office on Friday, when his arrest is expected to be announced. We will see by then if there will be any changes in Berisha's workroom./TCH
