This is the most painful day for all of us and the most painful event for all of us, since on this date, 15 years ago we lost 15 young men, 15 seniors. It was God's will that they leave this world, all together in one place, so their burial was made in one place. It was the most painful event for us all, and we will always remember”, said among other things, the mayor of Malisheva municipality, Ragip Begaj, in his address to the families of the 15 seniors.

In all this tragedy, it was spiritual ease to see people coming from all Albanian lands. Allow me to convey to you today the most sincere condolences, beginning with the families, mayors, high school and all the citizens of Malisheva”, Kastrati said.
