Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha, former MP Ervin Salianji, Kavajë Mayor Klevis Qose, and former German ambassador to Albania Werner Daum attended the ceremony in the town’s main square.

In his remarks, opposition leader Berisha described Budo’s sacrifice as an inspiration and light for all Albanians, contributing to the liberation of Kavajë and whole Albania from the communist dictatorship.

He called for this sacrifice to be remembered as a vow never to accept such regimes again and to restore dignity and hope in the country.

Berisha also praised Ambassador Daum’s support for the idealists fighting for freedom and dignity during the difficult communist era.
