John Muarremaj gets the clock Tower from Erion Veliaj

The first in Tirana welcomed the singer in his office and praised him well for his achievements, saying he was impressed by his entire performance.

I've been following you since you were a kid and you're the example of someone who's done things with work, work, work, work, work. A family that has sacrificed too much to raise, but you have rewarded. Even when I saw you and Angela and I said, Only Albania can bring two representatives”, Veliaj said.

While John thanked Chairman Veliaj for the gift, he added that he is proud that half of his origin is from Tirana, as his mother was born and raised there.

Thank you very much for this gift, and for this beautiful symbol. I'm so proud to have half of Tirana and embrace all my tribe that is here. Thank you very much”, the singer said.

And by saying that he is proud of him, Veliaj wished that Muharremaj would be a good example for other boys and girls

You're the example someone has to work for, work non-stop for those 3 minutes at Eurovision, 13 years for those 3 minutes, so I wish you great success” Veliaj added.

Known by the artistic name Johnés Theatres, Albanian-born singer John Muharrem represented Switzerland at Eurovision, where he managed to take third place.
