Excerpt from the interview:
Elvira Tata : Two hours have passed and I have been waiting at the station. I see a second black bag that belonged to this one. This was sleeping on the suitcase. In the meantime, I received it. Before he came, Elton Ilirjani picks me up and says 'Elvira, where are you? I heard that you found her. Please tell me where you are so I can come', he says. I said I'm looking for it and I can't find it, it's not here. If she comes I will call you to come and see her. 'Please do it for me,' he said. I don't want you to share all the trouble you have because you are also a refugee like me. I answer you for many things. I want to give something, he told me. Let me meet him'. I absolutely said if I meet her now why not come and when she came I texted her 'Elton came'. I tell him you are upset that a friend of mine is coming and he wants to meet you. Bored to meet you. No he told me absolutely, I will respect him as your friend. That was the meeting. Eltoni came, we sat down, discussed, hugged, cried, had fun...
Blendi Fevziu : How is the situation now?
Elvira Tata : She doesn't suffer from anything, she hasn't taken any medicine so far as far as she told me. It has an unprecedented memory. He has an infinite love for people. It is very gentle and only told me one thing. 'I did something good that God brought you to me. You are an angel to me. Other people have come and gone while you addressed me with a force…'
Blendi Fevziu : So had other Albanians met him before?
Elvira Tata : Yes, they met him, they brought him some food, but they did not return for the second time.
Blendi Fevziu : Is it insured at the moment? At this moment we put him and Elton in neither my house nor yours to give him some privacy. We decided to get him a house very close to our house so that he could live as well as possible. We made a plan to start tomorrow to get him the documentation that there is no identity card. They stole everything from my house, he told me, with tapes of everything. In these moments we decide with Elton to take him to the hotel. We take him to the hotel with many vicissitudes. We told him we will go get food, you will take a shower until we come. We'll go out to dinner and name it 'Parashqevi's birthday'. I've never had a birthday, he said, and your eyes filled with tears.
