19 years since the tragedy of January 9, where 28 people drowned

Today marks 19 years since the tragedy of January 9, 2004, in the bay of Vlora, where a raft illegally transporting some Albanians to Italy capsized.

The death toll was extremely heavy with 21 people officially drowned, and 8 others still missing as their bodies were never found.

18 men and 3 women were found dead on the morning of January 10 by a NATO helicopter of the Italian army.

They were mostly young people from the Shkodër district, aged between 15 and 33 years.

A year ago, the association of family members of the victims of this tragedy filed a complaint with SPAK.

They demand clarification of the incident and the holding of responsibility of the former officials of the Police of Vlora and the Ministry of the Interior. /CNA.al
