The Minister of Economy, Culture, and Innovation, Blendi Gonxhja, expressed condolences today for the passing of Vera Zheji, the iconic voice of Radio Tirana.

“In memory of Vera Zheji, the iconic voice of Radio Tirana, Teto Sandra in ‘Shi në Plazh,’ and the professor of artistic speech in the theater department who nurtured great artists at the Higher Institute of Arts (now UAB)! Farewell, master,” Gonxhja wrote in a social media post.
