Prime Minister Kurti has been invited as a witness by the Prosecution to give his version regarding the state reserves case, in which businessman Ridvan Muharremi and officials of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Irfan Lipovica and Hafiz Gara, are suspects.

The prosecution had summoned Prime Minister Albin Kurti for questioning three times in a row, but he did not respond to the prosecution's calls.
