Relatives of the victims and residents of the area gathered this evening in front of the Municipality building, where they held a silent protest in memory of the two children who lost their lives in the tragic accident.
The participants, mostly young people dressed in black, lit candles on the steps of the institution as a sign of homage, while choosing silence as a form of reaction to what they consider a lack of security in residential areas.
During the rally, traffic on one of the city's main streets was blocked for several minutes. The protest took place without statements to the media, reflecting a quiet but significant revolt against local institutions.
This reaction comes after another symbolic act carried out earlier in the day, when a wreath of flowers was placed near the Durrës Police Department with the message: "Take action."
The incident that has shocked the community occurred when 57-year-old Nikoll Radaçi, while driving while intoxicated, hit three children playing on the sidewalk. As a result, Kles Nikolli, 9, and Enea Muçaj, 12, died at the scene, while another minor, Arbjon Meslani, 8, is in the Trauma Hospital in Tirana. The vehicle also crashed into a parked vehicle before coming to a stop.
Residents and family members are demanding concrete measures to increase road safety and improve infrastructure in the area, while a larger protest has been announced for tomorrow.
"Around 2:00 p.m., I left the house with the vehicle with the license plate AB 909 PC and was going to pick up a work tool from a friend of mine. I was driving the vehicle in the right lane, suddenly a vehicle came out of a neighborhood alley, I swerved to avoid this vehicle and ended up on the sidewalk on the left side of the road. After getting on the sidewalk, I was involved in an accident with some children who were on the sidewalk. The vehicle I was driving failed to stop and I went a few meters ahead. I got out of the car and went to a nearby store where I told the store employees to notify the police after I had an accident. I stayed at the store until the police arrived and took me to the police station," the author testified before the jury today.
