"Covid took another one from us. Today passed away Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ceni, a life in public service. One of my mentors passed away. The first condolences go to the family and immediately behind the colleagues, who were shocked today and we can not accept that the professor will no longer be among us.

When 10 years ago I became his assistant in the Human Resources discipline at the Faculty of Economics, the only thing that connected us was being from Shkodra. Prof. Ahmeti was considered strict by the students but with a big heart. For all of us who had him as a boss, he was a teacher of the academic values ​​and ethical principles of a rare professional.

Every conversation with him was accompanied by advice that only one parent can give to the child. The values ​​of Prof. Ahmeti will always remain with me, honesty, justice and kindness. They are exactly people like prof. Ahmeti, which make me believe that positive models like him spread like oxygen to people who interact with them. "You will live in my mind and heart as long as I live!", Bilali wrote on "Facebook".
