The photograph of the sniper suspected of planning the assassinations against Kurt responded to Selmanaj

Selmanaj through a Facebook text has shown how his meeting with the sniper came about, which he says was a casual meeting. He says he never met again.

I realized just a few hours ago that there's a picture in Albania's media that I'm running with a table with the person that last days has become news of the planning of assassinations in Kosovo. I feel the need to explain in detail the whole story of how I shot that table.

It was the end of 2020, and I was on my way to Pristina magazine, Prizren, and call me Beg Salihi (our family's friend / my uncle's wife's brother), who tells me that if you have time to come and have a cup of coffee that I have some friends from Shkodra. I respect guests from Albania stop at a restaurant in the village of Korisha in Prizren. There were two guests from Shkodra, my family friend and some relatives of my friend”, Selmanaj said.

Selmanaj even says he didn't know his name and every explanation, or any other interpretation, even wrong and lying.

The LDK MP says such cases are the risk you have to pay when you're a public person.

We've been in the restaurant for about an hour and from that day the person in question I've never met. So this was the first and last time I met him, and I didn't even know his name today. That was it! Any other explanation or interpretation is ERROR and GREAT.

Fortunately or unfortunately we as deputies or public persons, not rarely do we ever get to meet many people and never before or during our meeting with them, we don't ask their biographies or their résumés. This is probably the amount you have to pay when you're a public person, he said.
