State Police Chief Presents Medal of Appreciation to Fallen Inspector Enea Mekolli’s Family

The family of Hero of the Nation Inspector Enea Mekolli receives a Medal of Appreciation from State Police Director General Major Director Skënder Hita for his supreme sacrifice while on duty.
The Hero of the Nation’s son is now considered a “Child Under the Care of the Republic.”
The Director General of the State Police, Major Director Skënder Hita, and senior State Police officials paid a visit to the Mekolli family on the first birthday of Hero of the Nation Inspector Enea Mekolli’s kid.
Hita Skënder:
“I am aware that Enea can never be replaced by words or assistance. I want to reassure you that you will never be alone, even though I am unable to bring beloved Enea back. The Albanian government, the State Police, all other police officers, and the Ministry of Interior will always be there to support you at all times and in any situation.
Enea’s son turns one year old today. His father’s absence is painful on this birthday, but he is also proud of the legacy he has left behind.
The status of “Child Under the Care of the Republic” has now been bestowed to our hero’s son. He will receive Enea’s entire income, free healthcare and education, and all other legal privileges until he completes higher education. We hope this little angel lives a long life, stays healthy, and achieves all of her goals. We want him to grow up knowing that his father sacrificed his life for his nation and its people.
The Director General gave the family the official paperwork designating the Hero’s son as a “Child Under the Care of the Republic,” the Medal of Appreciation given to Inspector Enea Mekolli for his exceptional bravery while performing his duties, and a symbolic check for 7 million Albanian lek, which had already been deposited into the family’s bank account as a token of support from State Police personnel.
Hita Skënder:
“As a token of respect, appreciation, and solidarity for Enea’s incredible sacrifice, as well as support for the Hero of the Nation’s family, the State Police employees generously gathered this donation.
We have an institutional and moral duty to look after his family, and we will do so with diligence and accountability.
Enea’s name and sacrifice will live on in our hearts, in the history of the State Police, and in the respect of all Albanians. You lost your son; we lost a friend, a colleague, and an exemplary police officer.”
In the midst of their sorrow and pride, the Hero’s family expressed gratitude to Major Director Skënder Hita, the Director General of the State Police, for the unwavering support they have received since the day Enea gave the ultimate sacrifice while doing his duties and was named a Hero of the Nation.
Additionally, they thanked all State Police personnel for their support and camaraderie.
