Pope Francis passed away as a great Pope of peace. He was also a distinguished friend of the Albanian nation.

Albania would be one of the first countries he visited after his inauguration to the papal throne of the Holy See. I was lucky enough to meet him and talk to him briefly on the day of the inauguration. I invited him to Albania. I found that he showed attention and interest in the invitation.

I said, I am inviting you first because it is a tradition that neighbors are visited first and we are among the first neighbors. Secondly, the history of the Albanian church, but also the alliance of Albanians with the Vatican, calls for this visit.

It was an extraordinary event for Albania, but also for the entire Western civilization when, during his visit, Pope Francis beatified here 38 martyrs of the Albanian church, who fell to become immortal for their faith in God and Christ the King during the Stalinist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha.

We wish the Holy Father eternal life in his eternal life. Once again, our deepest condolences. We wish the Holy Father eternal life in his eternal life.
