I was honored to know him 10 years ago, at the commemoration ceremony of the 25th anniversary of the fall of communism, organised then by the President's Institute, from where, as a true German, still preserved the anchor donated during that meeting even now. I became his friend and follower.

I'm in pain for him today as I can't stop looking at his smile last night when we broke up in the hotel yard, walking around with my purse and his jacket on my shoulder like a boy. He seemed like a joyful angel.

It was an honor to welcome him and to accompany him with much respect and love to have dear friends in his 4-day agenda with the European University of Tirana and Bashan Kavaja, who became his last trip to life.

Goodbye Ambassador and rest in peace. You'll be forgotten forever.
