He denied having been handed the indictment on 30 July, claiming he had instead been requested either to turn himself in voluntarily and "be locked up in the Mitrovica prison" or become a fugitive from what he termed "an Albanian" law.
On je demantovao da mu je 30. jula predata optužnica, tvrdeći da je umesto toga od njega zahtevano da se dobrovoljno preda i «bude zatvoren u zatvoru u Mitrovici» ili da postane begunac od onog što je nazvao «albanskim» zakonom.
