SPAK has officially reacted to Sali Berisha's claims that he has not received a subpoena to testify about the events of January 21. According to the prosecution, Berisha has refused two subpoenas.
"Hello,
In response to your request, we inform you as follows:
So far, two summonses have been sent through the Albanian postal service, on 3.11.2025 to the address of the residence (to be presented to SPAK on 7.11.2025) and on 7.11.2025, to the address of the residence, the Democratic Party and the Parliament (to be presented on 14.11.2025).
The first subpoena, sent to the apartment on 3.11.2025, was returned to the Special Prosecutor's Office, with the note:
"The guards are authorized not to take any envelopes."
Following this finding, the Special Prosecution Office continued with sending the summons to the three destinations (Housing, Democratic Party and Parliament) on 07.11.2025.
On 09.11.2025, the receipt of the envelope sent to the apartment was refused, while on 12.11.2025, the Human Resources and Treatment of Deputies Service in the Parliament of Albania announced that the receipt of the notification was refused by the political staff of the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party.
The letter also clarified that the notice of the summons was also sent to the official email address:
[email protected], dated 10.11.2025.
"The Special Prosecution Office will continue to implement the legal provisions for the notification and appearance of the summoned person, according to the deadlines and obligations provided for in the legislation in force," SPAK states.
Berisha also claimed in today's statement to the media that SPAK's subpoena has not officially arrived. But this turns out to be untrue since two institutions, SPAK and the Parliament, have officially confirmed that the subpoena was sent but was rejected.
