The Italian ambassador has appreciated the appreciation given to him by the Municipality of Gjirokastra, stating that he will return not as an already appointed ambassador to Germany, but as an ordinary citizen.

"It is a great honor for me after 5 years spent here in Albania, as I am a friend of hers. After 5 years I finished my mandate, but Albania will always stay in my heart and I will return here. The Italians are the first to come here for tourism, the groups are growing as they come, businessmen are also investing, and the relations between the two governments have strengthened even more in these years.

Bucci also spoke about the political crisis in our country and the tensions between the position and the opposition

Unfortunately, the political situation in Albania continues to be conflictual, in a few months there will be elections and I hope that it will be a campaign based on facts and programs, since Albanian voters have the right and want to know the programs of the political parties. - the ambassador said, among other things.

The mayor of Gjirokastra Flamur Golemi appreciated Buci's contribution in these four years of his stay in Albania and especially the contribution he has given to Gjirokastra.
