In his response to a question posed by Albanian language website koha.net, Zuberaj called Vucic "a criminal slanderer."

"The flag of Kosovo was there while the delegation of Kosovo was being shown the honors at the highest protocol level," said Zuberaj.

Vucic told reporters on Monday that he stood "about seven meters" from Hashim Thaci and Behgjet Pacolli during the ceremony, that he did not speak to either of them, and that the flag of Kosovo had been removed during the ceremony, at his request.
