The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj hosted two boxing champions, Ermal Hadribeaj and Muhamet Qamili.He appreciated the sacrifices and achievements of two well-known athletes, who represent the red and black colors, as he described them as the best ambassadors of the country.

” I am really proud of what you have achieved and to see that you fought with dignity against a very strong opponent. I am truly grateful! Each of us, regardless the duty and passion, is an ambassador of this country and when people look at success stories they say: ‘This is an Albanian,” said Veliaj.

Like Ermal Hadribeaj, the young but talented champion, Muhamet Qamili, has achieved high results in Italy and in the international arena.

“I am very proud of the new generation that is coming. Your effort in Rome has been rewarded. When I see that there are Italian athletes who become Albanian citizens, of course it makes me very happy, but I can’t hide that I am super proud that despite the offers, despite the temptation to be part of a big country and maybe, let’s say, the strong finances, each of you has chosen to carry our flag”, added Veliaj.

The Mayor said that today it is important that every Albanian  promotes Albania through his work wherever he lives.
