In his remarks, the PM addressed the tragedy in Tirana, where a 14-year-old was killed in a knife attack.

“In recent days, I have witnessed how a tragedy, which occurred some time ago, continues to be used as fodder—aimed at stirring up debate for political gain or higher viewership. Media profit, in this case, means to gain higher viewership by sensationalizing the tragedy so that the story keeps people tuned to their screens,” said Rama.

“I am not getting into this at all. What I will say is that some of those you watch on screen go out to give lectures, to tell stories, to point fingers, and then they reveal that they are paid by others whom you are being accused of, etc. I don’t want to get into this aspect or these circumstances. Throughout these days, a great sense of insecurity has been stirred up, as if all schools are not safe, which is far from the case,” emphasized Rama.

“In terms of security, if you listen to all the foreigners who visit us, and also to Albanians who live abroad, Albania is one of the safest countries. What occasionally happens between criminal gangs has nothing to do with the citizens. It is one of the safest countries, and this is one of the main reasons why tourists love Albania,” emphasized Rama.
