Arben Gashi comes to support Armendi Zemaj

Supporting Zemaj has also reacted to Democratic League of Kosovo deputy (LDK), Arben Gashi, who has strongly condemned provocations and attacks on institutional representatives.

“Dhuna ʹ be verbal or, in any other form, towards institutional representatives must receive the deserved appointment, because it is not only to the individual, but to the public function it represents. In a democratic society, criticism is necessary and healthy, but violence has no place. Anamend Zemaj remains steadfast,” wrote Gashi.

And, on the other hand, LDK deputy Armend Zemaj has reacted through a post on the social Facebook network, saying that while he was conducting an interview, he was literally provoked with unacceptable words.

“Today, during a public interview, an unpleasant situation occurred that I feel genuine regret. A citizen, I don't know if it was random or intended, that's what the police would prove to me, he insulted me and provoked me in a very irrevocably, in front of the media and the journalist we were in interview, he wrote.

Zemaj has said that he would have to succumb to provocation and apologise for the incident that occurred.

I have full respect for every person, for every thought and every criticism, no matter how harsh that can be, mine is not responding with emotion. So it has to serve as a lesson to be more patient and consistent in every situation. Thank you all for understanding”, he wrote.

The heart demands public forgiveness for the physical incident with a citizen: Violence is not the right answer.
