“Only I and my close protection were there. Do you think that there was something with one of my bodyguards, only then we will be able to say that it did not happen with me. Then there is a police process for this, but he was not arrested for this, although there was an attempt to cause danger”, said Kurti on Monday night.

The lawsuit was submitted to the Basic Court of Pristina.

Lushtaku, through his lawyer, on Tuesday had given 24 hours for Kurti to retract his statements and apologize.

Anyone who slanders him with falsehoods will face the same action and be held accountable before the law!” – wrote Lushtaku on Facebook.
