The former President, Ilir Meta reacted for the first time after his arrest this Monday evening.

Through a post in the social media, Meta said that he is stronger than ever.

"I want to thank everyone who supported me. I am sure that we will succeed in our cause. My kidnapping today in the most thuggish way shows the panic of the dictatorial regime from confronting the truths. 

I assure everyone that after learning about the decision of my arrest, I feel stronger than ever and I believe very much in my complete innocence. I feel proud that I was violently kidnapped by anti-Albanians and Albanian speakers just for my patriotism and the protection of national interests" he said.
