An Albanian has been feeding sick children in Vranje each day for the past 4 years: His children are playing with them, and Serbs work in the bakery (PHOTO)

An Albanian from Bujanovac Milazim Gegulaj (38) has been providing snack daily for twenty sick children from Vranje for the past four years. 

Prime Minister of Morocco denied the "minister" of Kosovo: The gentlemen from Kosovo imposed his presence, we didn't discuss bilateral relations

Milazim's parents are from Prizren, from where they moved to Bujanovac in the 1970s, and four years ago, one of the brothers Gegulaj opened a bakery in Vranje.

Milazim, with his wife Sada, is considered to be a great humanist, but they reluctantly talk about it. Since their bakery is close to the rooms where children from the Association for aiding mentally underdeveloped persons are located, an unusual friendship started developing between this Albanian and sick children. 

- They asked for aid from the association, to help them in some way. We decided to provide snacks for them each day. Sometimes that is burek, the next time rolls, hot dogs, pies... I have three children and they play with the children from the Association, we became great friends. I receive a card for each New Year from the children from the association, written in the Albanian language, with the most beautiful wishes for me and my family. The smiles of the sick children, their sincere joy, are the greatest reward for me - Miliazim adds.

He is one of the rare Albanians in Vranje who have his own business. He said that there were no problems so far, especially not on the national basis.

- My father is from Prizren and he always raised us that there are only good and bad people, and to divide them as such, not by nation, religion or by race. I have a lot of customers here, they are all pleased. I have a lot of friends in Vranje, and I also have both Serbian and Albanian workers. Albanians are traveling from Bujanovac, and Serbs are from Vranje and Vranjska Banja. You should help everybody if you can because that is a wonderful feeling. I think that I am not doing anything special by helping others and that each man has the need within to do something good - Milazim said.
