Martin Leka said: “It is impossible for the winner to come out when the festival has not taken place yet. I am clarifying that the Festivali i Këngës will be held on 16th, 17th and 18th of December. Everything is done for personal interests, by people who are trying to lower the figure of the festival created for years. The jury is not the one published in the media, the names are different.”
