Niko Peleshi visits Dritson Kurti's family on International Roma Community

The political leader of the Korça district, Niko Peleshi, visited on International Roma Community Day the family of Dritson Kurti, involved in an event that has affected not only the Roma community, but also beyond.

"I came here for humanitarian reasons. I fully understand the position of justice, but we must not forget that today is also the International Day of the Roma Community, and many families of this community are facing similar challenges," said Peleshi.

Focusing on the specific case, he said that confronting child marriage requires more than criminal punishment.

"The law is fair, but the traditions that have brought about this reality must also be challenged. This is not just a legal problem, but a social wound that requires deep and sustained work," Peleshi added.

During the conversation with family members, Peleshi appreciated the fact that there is a growing awareness of change.

"Even the community itself accepts that this is a tradition that must end. But prejudice and lack of information continue to be major barriers," Peleshi said.

He called for a joint commitment of institutions, civil society and the community itself to stop practices that harm minors and their future.

"We must come together to address this wound with education, community integration projects and social support. I hope that my words and the voice of this family will be heard carefully. It is not a matter of government, it is a matter of justice and conscience. But it is also a call to wake up as a society. The time for change has come," Peleshi said. /CNA
