On this occasion, Sali emphasized that the mother tongue represents the foundation of identity, cultural heritage, and social cohesion, stressing that its use and respect in institutional and public life constitute a fundamental right and a democratic standard.
Referring to the Albanologist Eqrem Çabej, he recalled that language is the clearest mirror of the history and spirit of a people and therefore should be nurtured and promoted as a unifying value in a multiethnic society.
