Earthquake aftermaths, Xhaçka: heavy costs, but no one will stay homeless

Published: Friday, 29 November 2019 11:45

Dear citizens,

I know this morning finds us all more tired than the day before, because there are still nights of anxiety as a result of the aftershocks, which were felt even few minutes ago. However, the good news is that despite the situation is still active, the intensity of shocks has a noticeable downward trend, and hopefully all these are signs that this seismic situation is coming to an end.

These days have been really tough and difficult. There have been tragic days that have proved us all, and I am very proud that Albanians, everywhere, in the affected areas, and not, in the region and anywhere in the world, passed the test in the most dignified way. They have gained the admiration of the world with their solidarity and cooperation.
