He was hit by a truck in the USA, the brother of director Piro Milkani died

Mihallaq Milkani, the well-known pedagogue of the Albanian Navy, brother of the well-known director Piro Milkani, has passed away at the age of 88 in the USA.

Milkani was hit by a truck in Worcester, Massachusetts, while he was standing with a friend in a parking lot in the area.

Milkani was a regular visitor to a cafe on "Richmond" boulevard, where he gathered together with his Albanian friends and not alone. That day, the cafe was closed and they decided to go somewhere else.

On the way, a truck hit him while he was doing a reverse maneuver in a parking lot.

At age 22, in 1957, Mihallaq Milkani left Albania to study at naval academies in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Riga, Latvia (then still part of the Soviet Union), according to his younger brother Piro Milkani, of who is one of the most popular Albanian directors.

Mihallaq Milkani returned to Albania, where he served as a naval officer until the early 1970s. He served in submarines near the island of Sazan.

Milkani taught as a professor for about 10 years, until 1982, at the Naval Academy in Vlora.
