Ilir Beqaj/ Edi Rama

At the annual conference, Prime Minister Edi Rama was also asked about the former minister, Ilir Beqaj, and his appointment at the head of SASPAC , at a time when he was under investigation for another charge.

The Prime Minister emphasized the fact that at the first moment that Beqja was charged, he left office and that this is now in the hands of justice.

As for the Agency previously run by Beqja, Rama said that this institution does not manage funds from either the EU or donors.

"Starting from the bottom, Ilir Beqja in the second was put under an accusation, he ran away from his job. Let's be clear. Ilir Beqja resigned the second he was charged.

The replacement process was opened immediately and he is not the chief negotiator, he was the aid coordinator in an institution that, to make it clear, does not manage funds from either the EU or a donor, it is a functioning coordination office of the Albanian government and a bridge of communication with donors for the processes of granting foreign funds, which do not go through this office at all. This is then a matter of Justice, not of the Government, " said Rama.
