Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support Contribute"We didn't come today for the pleasure of visiting, we came because we had a siege in Drenica last night, especially in the municipality of Skenderaj, which we have only had in 1999. 17 points in the municipality of Skenderaj were the special unit, they were with long weapons, it was an unnecessary siege by the Government of Albin Kurti and the Minister of Internal Affairs Xhelal Sveçla, which was unnecessary," Gucati emphasized at a press conference held in Skenderaj.
He said that Sami Lushtaku is not escaping justice, drawing a parallel between Lushtaku's failure to appear for an interview following allegations that he attacked the head of the Vetëvendosje center in Skenderaj, Hysni Mehani, and Kurti's failure to appear for an interview regarding the state reserves case.
"Sami Lushtaku has been sentenced to 12 years in UNMIK prisons, he is not a man who flees justice, he is a man who has dedicated his entire life to the national issue, he has responded to our justice. Why does he not surrender to the Prosecution and its call is precisely Albin Kurti's fault. Albin Kurti is a man who came to power with violence, with blood, by burning down the parliament and today does not respond to the prosecution, because Albin Kurti has not responded to the SPRK to this day. When the master of the house does not respond to a call from an institution, then why should we respond to this justice when Albin Kurti flees justice ... Drenica are not criminal people, Drenica are not those who are afraid of justice.
He has also threatened more protests.
"We call on everyone not to panic unnecessarily, not to be taken back 27 years. If they want to overthrow Sami Lushtaku by force and use violence against him, then the violence will turn into protests. We will organize protests, demonstrations throughout Kosovo. If any general attempts to use violence, to be associated with violence, to be dealt with violence. We do not want this," Gucati said.
