Former President Vjosa Osmani reacted following the announcement of the verdict against the accused for the murder of Liridona Ademaj, where her ex-partner was sentenced to life imprisonment. She emphasized that this decision is a powerful message against violence towards women and a reaffirmation of the necessity to protect the lives of women and girls. "Today, justice spoke with a clear and decisive voice. Unfortunately, no verdict can turn back time or bring Liridona back to life. However, today a fundamental principle was reaffirmed: every violation of women's lives demands the strongest response from justice. This decision is a clear message that violence against women cannot be relativized or tolerated. But this is not the end. It is the necessary impetus to protect women's lives and to take every case of violence seriously and address it in a timely manner. On a day like this, our thoughts are with Liridona's family, as well as with the families of all the women and girls who are no longer among us due to femicide. For Liridona. For every woman who did not survive. And for every girl who deserves to grow up free and without fear, justice will always be the answer, while prevention, support, and empowerment will be our daily commitment," wrote Osmani.
