Two young people tragically lost their lives yesterday after drowning in the sea at 'Rana e Hedhun' as a result of strong waves, while 3 others fortunately managed to escape.

The victims have been identified as Leonit Aliu, aged 22, from Fushë-Kosovo, and Jetmir Binaku, aged 23, from Pristina. Aliu is also known in the world of football in Kosovo as he was part of the KF Fushë-Kosovo club.

The young people were part of a group of tourists from Kosovo, who had come by bus to visit Shëngjin and the surrounding areas.
