Today, Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandic is suddenly dead. Nearly 20 years mayor of Zagreb, Bandic has been a great friend of Pristina and also a friend of mine. The first president to visit me after receiving the warrant. A great friend of Albanians in Croatia.

We were in Skopje in 2018 at dinner together with the mayors of Athens and Skopje. It was the night of the game between Switzerland and Serbia. Bandic was a major football fan who was not missing any game of Croatia's Dinamo.

He asked me to watch the game on the wire for dinner. Dinner ended before Jack's goal. Until we drove through cars, Jaka scored and Bandic was happy for me. Entering the car, he told me “igurno ce bit 2:1 za Svavarsku salo gledaj”

When Shaqiri scored I was somewhere at the border screaming in the car. Bandic's on the phone. I told you, I told you, celebrate tonight.

That's how I'll remember. At each meeting he would tell me, sirou Shpend Samo put you on the radio. Only for the poor, work for the poor.

I'm sorry I extended it, but every time you helped Albanians in Zagreb, he called me. Every time I asked for help, she's already offered. And he was all over me when you needed a rifle to come to Zagreb. You're like on your back.

Rest quietly, our friend Bandic. You gave your life to the city of Zagreb. Like everywhere they're going to spoil and criticize you, but you've given your life for the city.
