Today, one of the most respected figures of Vlora, but not only, Doctor Neki Dredhes, a name that for decades was closely associated with humanism, service to citizens, and the public life of the city, said goodbye.
The doctor, former mayor, intellectual and renowned creator was accompanied to his final resting place amidst the pain of his family, friends, colleagues and many citizens who knew and appreciated him throughout his life. The funeral ceremony took place this Thursday in Tirana, while messages of condolence and appreciation for his figure continue to be numerous.

His friends described him as a rare conversationalist, with an admirable memory and deep knowledge of Albanian literature, history and culture.
