In his speech before the family members and officers of the State Police, Minister Lamallari praised the officer’s sacrifice and demanded that justice be served.

More than just a state formality, the minister noted, the ceremony was a moment of profound humility in the face of a fallen officer’s sacrifice who, according to him, saw the uniform as a mission in service of citizens and the homeland.

He emphasized that the murder of the police officer was a blow not only to a law enforcement officer, but also to the authority of the state itself and trust in the law.

According to the Minister of Internal Affairs, the sacrifice of Novruz Cenalia strengthens the determination of the institutions to fight crime and guarantee public safety.

During the ceremony, Lamallari appreciated the declaration of Novruz Cenalina a “Martyr of the Homeland” as an act of moral and historical justice, underlining that Albania places him in the pantheon of men who gave their lives for the country. Minister Lamallari also called for justice, demanding that the perpetrators of the crime receive the deserved punishment. /a.f/p.s./
