Astrit Haraqija told the press that he and Bukoshi are only resigning until the court proceedings against them concluded. He added that PM Tachi released them from duty for the duration of the trial, but that they will return to their positions afterwards.
The prime minister’s press release said the two men “have undertaken this act for the sake of respecting the current legal proceedings taking place against them,” and they are “making room for justice so it may perform its mission.”
Bukoshi and Haraqija said they would cooperate with the judiciary.
