Lushtaku, in his reaction after the attack, said that he was called "Sami Serbia" and that is why citizens reacted to Mehani.

"Violence is not a solution. But neither are provocations, lynchings and systematic accusations. Because when the language of hatred, division and dehumanization is installed for years, the consequences are not long in coming. One leads to another. It has always been this way. Therefore, today more than ever, we need restraint and respect in public discourse. To ban language that produces conflict, not to feed it," Deliu-Kodra's reaction states.
