Gjesti’s testimony in the courtroom revealed: “I apologize, I acted in…”

Singer Besart Kelmendi, known to the public as Gjesti, gave his testimony in court regarding the incident for which he is under investigation.

He stated that everything happened during a difficult emotional moment and apologized for the situation.

“I want to inform the court that I am anxious and that I acted in a state of anxiety. I apologize to the court, the prosecutor, and the injured party,” he said during the hearing.

On the other hand, his lawyer opposed the prosecution’s request for pre-trial detention, arguing that the reaction was impulsive and that in such cases there is usually no risk that such an action would be repeated.

However, the Basic Court of Prishtina decided to place the singer in pre-trial detention for one month.

Besart Kelmendi was arrested on March 11, 2026, in Prishtina on suspicion of illegal possession of a weapon. According to police, the arrest took place around 15:00 on “Mehmet Isahi” street, where the artist was stopped and then escorted to the police station for questioning. After the interview, by decision of the prosecutor, he was placed in police detention for 48 hours.

A day later, on March 12, 2026, media reported the circumstances that led to the arrest. According to sources, the singer had gone to the offices of the music company Onima, where he had a verbal conflict with its director, Erkand Shabani.

The situation allegedly escalated during the argument, and it was reported that a computer in the company’s premises was damaged, which prompted the management to notify the police for threats and property damage.
