Lushtaku: Unlike Kurti, I respect the institutions of the Republic

The Mayor of Skenderaj, Sami Lushtaku, has said that unlike the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti, he respects the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo and responds to them whenever asked.

In a post on his Facebook profile, accompanied by a video of him entering the Police Station for an interview, Lushtaku said that he answers to the Republic, the nation, and God.

"I answer to the Republic, the nation and God. As always, today I answer to justice. I respect the institutions for which I and my comrades have fought and given everything. Unlike Albin Kurti, who respects neither the Police nor the Prosecution, who violates the Constitution whenever it suits him politically, I always respect and answer to the institutions of the Republic," he wrote.

Lushtaku called for calm in the hope that the Prosecution will not be instrumentalized.

"I call for calm and prudence while I hope that the Prosecution will not be instrumentalized, but will carry out its work independently, without influence and without pressure!", his writing concludes.
