At the presentation of the new Andrea Stefani school, at the former Sheshi Shqiponja, Mayor Veliaj recalled the conversation with the late journalist, when he had just taken office as mayor.
"I want to close by remembering my friend Andrea Stefani. I don't know, Enkeleida, if we all live worthy lives to deserve to be remembered by the city, but I believe that each of us should try our best to live dignified lives so that the city will remember them with gratitude, as recalls Andrea Stefani.
Eddie and I have many discussions about how the media works today. How many times do we have to spend endless time clarifying a lie, clarifying someone who just finess politics for completely trivial reasons.
I remember that time when Andrea spoke the truth with great courage and confidence. There was a time when truth was in fashion. No lies, no fines. Good journalism was in vogue.I remember a conversation with Andrea Stefani. When I became mayor. The first jobs had begun. I was worried about the image of the municipality, the image of the city, about writings that were untrue. I remember Andrea who told me: You don't have to please everyone. You have a duty to serve everyone. It stuck in my ear", said Veliaj.
At the presentation of the Andrea Stefani school, his wife Enkelejda and two children, daughter Stefi and son Daniel, were also present.
Prime Minister Rama was also present.
