The son of Prime Minister Sali Berisha, Shkelzen Berisha, has filed a lawsuit against the “Zeri” newspaper in Prishtina, claiming 100 EUR for moral damage over slander.

 Shkelzen Berisha’s lawyers say that the lawsuit was filed against the newspaper, the chief editor Astrit Gashi and journalist Enis Veliu. Besides moral and financial compensation, they demand the removal of the article from the Zeri web page.

On 16 April 2012, “Zeri” published an article titled “Berisha with the Serbian mafia against Kosovo”, speaking about a meeting of the Prime Minister’s son with the Serbian businessman, Vuk Hamovic, one of the richest people in Balkan, together with Damir Fazlic.

The newspaper says that the Serbian businessmen have paid the Albanian high instances to stop the construction of the power line between Kosovo and Albania, so that Serbia can guarantee the power supply of Kosovo, since it can import electric power only from Serbia.

The Board of Written Medias had rejected Berisha’s request in June, who had asked the newspaper to deny his meeting with the businessmen.

“Zeri” newspaper says that they own facts and evidence that prove everything written on the article of 16 April 2012.
