What has gotten people to respond is that he has his feet on what appears to be Albania’s red and black flag.
Many believe that Zelmerlöw acting disrespectfully, and writes that he should remove the picture and apologize to anyone who was offended. While some say he deserves “a blow”, the others so far as to threaten his life.

Deleted image
The image had a chance to get closer to 7000 points before Zelmerlöw deleted it from Instagram. Several Albanian newspapers, according to Expressen captured the incident, and the Swedish police are taking the threats seriously.
