The former President of the Republic, Ilir Meta, reacted to the recent incident in Himara when a 5-year-old girl was hit by a speedboat. Through a post on social media, the former president expressed his condolences to the family of the little girl and demanded an immediate investigation and punishment for the author. 

"Deeply shocked by the tragic event on the beach of Himara, where the senior official of the Elbasan Police, A.T, took the life of a 7-year-old minor girl today, who had come with her family for vacation in Albania. 

Expressing my deepest condolences to the family and relatives for the loss of their precious little girl, I condemn with the greatest force the catastrophic situation of public safety on the beaches, at the peak of the tourist season, unfortunately with such repeated tragic consequences. 

Immediate in-depth investigation and severe punishment for the violation of the law by the leaders of the State Police! Enough arrogance and irresponsibility in the State Police!" Meta wrote.
