It's a continuation of this ministry's activities. We have identified it with Oda, Oda is our own tradition and history”, he said.

Tonight I want you in the most civilized way that Albanian Oda gives the exam as the most civilized. Having a love without tricks and without tricks”, he said, Kosovress reported.
