Qeqa Krelani recounts a difficult moment: My father died in my arms in 5 minutes

Qeqa Krelani spoke at length about her private life on the show “Jeto me Orën” on RTV Ora.

She remembered her late father and expressed her feelings about his passing.

Qeqa Krelani: Dad suffered a lot as a person because his sisters and brothers died very young. His parents, too, and he suffered all the time. Life is very unfair, and I don't understand it. Dad died very young from a heart attack, and it was hard because he died in my arms. I was very young. I was 15, 16 years old, and that's why I don't trust life, because I think everything can be over in 5 minutes, because he died in my arms in 5 minutes. That's why I don't trust life, because the people I have loved most in life have either passed away or left this country. Dad passed away, while Flaka left this country. Every 5 minutes I think something could change. I'm very sorry he didn't live to enjoy my success and Flaka's success.

Her family has been the journalist's greatest support. She even says that her inspiration and idol is her sister Flaka, who is very critical and detail-oriented, always helping her to do better.

But what brings her to Tirana most often?

“Friendship brings me here; sometimes you don't have to be related by family, blood doesn't always connect you as much as something special does. That chemistry and energy you create with each other,” Qeqa said.

She also spoke about her career. 

Asked what some of the most important milestones in her career had been, she said, “I get emotional every time I think about them; it's when I commentated on the Kosovo-England and Kosovo-Spain matches.”

She says she will not be alone in this profession.

“I am the first, but I hope I won't remain the only one. The reason there are so few of us in sports, or in life in general, and we don't manage to become more decision-makers, is that we suppress one another. I don't understand why this happens so often in Kosovo. I think we should support each other more, give each other more points, because that's the only way we grow stronger.”
