Bislimi Alleges Irregularities in Interview Process
Acting Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi, however, has criticized the manner in which his interrogation was handled by the Prosecution regarding the investigation into the animal by-product plant in Drenas.
Following his interview with the Special Prosecution, Bislimi wrote on Facebook that although he was invited in the capacity of a witness, the one-and-a-half-hour interview contained no questions typically addressed to a witness. According to Bislimi, the information he provided could have been obtained through a simple search, without the need for an interview.
