Today, all central and local officials have chosen churches in their city to wish believers a Merry Christmas and have also conveyed a message to the media for all citizens.
For the prefect of Shkodra, Holta Duda, the statement to journalists did not go as she expected after it became a mess and she asked for her speech to be cut short. But she was disappointed when the journalists told her it was live.
"Today we all gather together to celebrate the birth of Christ, just as the star shone in the hearts of all peoples in the Holy Land that night when the baby Christ was born, so do I today on behalf of all....please forgive me once again..." said the local official.
Alongside Prefect Holda Duda was also the socialist MP for the Shkodër district, Marjana Koçeku.
