Today the Albanian flag was at half-mast in the state and public institutions of the country because by the decision of the government the 5th of March was declared a day of national mourning in Albania in memory of the victims of train accident in Tempe.
The country’s Prime Minister Edi Rama wrote on his personal Facebook account that the “tragedy in Greece is also our tragedy and the pain for the lives lost is also our pain…”
In many cities of the country, citizens lit candles in memory of the victims in Tempi. In Koritsa the inhabitants of the city lit candles outside the Metropolitan Church and the same was repeated in the city of Agioi Saranda.
