Por, ai n\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjt\u00ebn koh\u00eb ka promovuar virtytet dhe emrin e mir\u00eb t\u00eb Kombit shqiptar. Dom Pjetri, me krenari rreshtohet n\u00eb rendin e gjat\u00eb t\u00eb klerikeve katolik\u00eb shqiptar\u00eb t\u00eb cil\u00ebt–n\u00eb trojet e veta n\u00eb Ballkanin Per\u00ebndimor — dhe n\u00eb diaspor\u00eb, kan\u00eb qen\u00eb dhe jan\u00eb nd\u00ebr shtyllat m\u00eb t\u00eb r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishme si p\u00ebrfaqsues t\u00eb ajk\u00ebs s\u00eb patriotizmit dhe nd\u00ebrtimit e zhvillimit t\u00eb kultur\u00ebs dhe gjuh\u00ebs shqipe. Gjithmon\u00eb, duke i ndejt besnik Fes\u00eb dhe Kombit, liris\u00eb, bes\u00ebs dhe burr\u00ebnis\u00eb shqiptare, por edhe nderit e dinjitetit njer\u00ebzor, pa dallim feje a krahine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ju fal\u00ebnderojm\u00eb q\u00eb 40 vjet m\u00eb par\u00eb iu p\u00ebrgjigj\u00ebt me \u201cpo\u201d thirrjes suaj. Shembulli juaj na kujton se madh\u00ebshtia e v\u00ebrtet\u00eb nuk gjendet n\u00eb njohje apo madh\u00ebshti, por n\u00eb sh\u00ebrbim t\u00eb vazhduesh\u00ebm dhe dashamir\u00ebs.
