When she first entered the offices of Albanian Radio Television and timidly opened the news microphone to present the bulletins, Tefta Radi could never have imagined that she would celebrate her 60th anniversary among friends, journalists and artists in the hall of a house in Tirana. BY ANILA BASHA Tefta Radi’s 60th anniversary When she first entered the offices of Albanian Radio Television and timidly opened the news microphone to present the bulletins, Tefta Radi could never have imagined that her 60th anniversary would be celebrated among friends, journalists and artists in the hall of a house in Tirana. The “Nermin Vlora Falaschi” Foundation organized the conference on women journalists, considering this also to be an important event in the year of the country’s 100th anniversary of Independence. Tefta Radi, among flowers and emotions, was there not to bow her head, but as a recognized icon of Albanian public television.

It is expected that by this morning the translation and comparison of the FBI expert analysis with the Albanian one, previously carried out by the State Police, will have been completed. According to sources from the investigative group, it has been discovered that from the 2 pistols examined, the killers of Aleks Nika and Faik Myrtaj may also be identified. Meanwhile, the arrest of another employee of the Prime Minister’s Office is also expected; he intervened in the server, first cloned the footage and then deleted all the recordings of the events on the night of 21 January 2011.
