On November 29, 2023, a memorial ceremony was held at the Martyrs’ Cemetery where the fallen are honored. During the ceremony, the Albanian Guard of the Republic prevented the presence of the media and journalists in this event. This was done with the justification that the event coverage was centralized. Journalists were prevented from filming and performing their duties without additional information.
