Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has sparked widespread reactions online following a gesture made during his meeting with UFC President Dana White.
During the meeting, while thanking White for bringing the upcoming UFC event to Belgrade, Vučić presented him with a traditional musical instrument — a lahuta.
The gesture triggered controversy, as the lahuta is widely considered part of the cultural heritage of Albanians, particularly in the northern Albanian highlands. According to reactions on social media, Vučić presented the instrument to Dana White as a Serbian folk instrument, leading to criticism and accusations of cultural appropriation.
