As promised, Veliaj handed over the keys to the houses to the two Olympic

Chermen Valiev and Islam Dudaev were the two heroes of Albania at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The two wrestlers, who represented Albania, received from the Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, the keys to the new 2+1 apartments in the capital, as promised .

"As the head of the Municipality and the Tirana Sports Club, this is a medal not as valuable as the others, but it is a good omen that you will marry, multiply and produce more champions. We will meet before the end of September for Zelimkhan, who we also want to see as a resident of Tirana. I believe that starting a new family is good news and Zelimkhani will join us very soon", said Veliaj.

During the ceremony, there was no shortage of jokes between Sei Prizren, Prime Minister Edi Rama and Mayor Veliaj.

The moment of handing over the keys:

Sahit Prizreni: I want to thank the president of KOKSH, in particular the mayor, as a main supporter through the Club of Tirana, even though he has not yet given it for a promise kept for our boys' apartments.
Rama: You mentioned the mayor who didn't keep his word, but you were a bit hasty, because he always keeps his word.
Prizren: He kept his word. He still hasn't delivered, I meant it.
Rama: Aaaa, who didn't bring the apartments here with him?
Prizren: Only the keys.

Veliaj hands them the keys.

Rama - Prizren: Now you have to accompany these and see them yourself, because you live with doubts and you can remember that they are two keys to the same door.
Prizren: I am one of those who believe and believe a lot.
Rama: I know, but you have believed wrongly, that's why I'm in trouble, don't be wrong again with this faith you have.
