Invited to the show "Rudina", Blendi Fevziu has presented his latest book "Takimet mia me...", which reflects the portraits of 39 characters who have dominated not only in Albania, but also in other countries.
During the show, Fevziu talks about one of the characters he has included in the book, who stands out for her charity, Mother Teresa.
The journalist narrates the story of how he met the well-known philanthropist for the first time, where he said that he held his grudge for 2 years.
"I have met Mother Teresa twice. Once I have not met him, we have met. The second time I went to him for an interview, when Pope John Paul, in April 1993, came to Tirana and lived in a house next to Gramoz Pashko's house at that time, on 'Budi' street.
I went there, with a lot of insistence, I entered. I told him that I was looking for an interview, he didn't speak Albanian. He told me, no, I don't give interviews about this.
But I had a previous story, the one where I still didn't get angry even after 2 years. In 1991 Armand Shkullaku and I made our first trip outside Albania. It was the first time we left Albania, we left a country almost starving. And the plane we boarded provided food. A sandwich, a small bar of chocolate and a mini orange juice, with its entire pipe in the packaging, as a package.
That my pleasure to see white bread, mortadella, that is, external things. Now on the way back I say to Shkullak: 'Well we ate outside things for 2 weeks and we were satisfied, now let's take something to me and my father, so they can see how the food is outside. So I'm not eating the airplane food, but I'm taking it with me.'
We boarded the plane, Shkullaku and I were among the 5, I remember it now, Mother Teresa was sitting in the 2nd, she was also coming from Rome to Tirana.
Mother Teresa was very present at that time, she used to come and go, but now it seems a rare thing. When the stewardess arrived, she started distributing the food, Mother Teresa opened a bag, said: these will go to the poor, and took the food from all of us. And I said to Shkullak: What does this do? But where are there poorer than us?!
So I ran home and didn't bring anything to my family. I didn't get angry for two years," said Fevziu.
