Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support ContributeLushtaku is expected to be interviewed regarding the attack on Deputy Minister of Finance Hysni Mehani, who is the chairman of the Vetëvendosje Movement center in this municipality, as well as the party's activist, Bahri Zabeli, which occurred on Thursday.
Mehani, Zabelli and Vetëvendosje have said that the attack was carried out by the mayor of Skenderaj, Sami Lushtaku, and his bodyguards.
Lushtaku, through a post on Facebook, denied that he carried out the attack himself.
"Albin Kurti's government, through its mechanisms, attempted to attack me today in Skenderaj. I have spent my life serving the country, and citizens no longer tolerate labels like 'Sami Serbia', which is why they reacted!", he wrote.
