In March 2008, Mediu resigned from his position as Defence Minister following a military ammunition explosion in Gërdec, a village outside of the capital of Albania.[4] The explosion killed 26 people, injured hundreds, and damaged or destroyed over two thousand homes.[5] He was succeeded by Gazmend Oketa.
While Minister of Environment, he quietly oversaw the 2010 Albania floods in the Northern regions of the country, largely caused by poor forest management practices, illegal logging, and heavy rains.[citation needed]
