Dritan Hoxha

[4] On 23 May 2008 at about 01:50 on the "Bajram Curri" boulevard in Tirana, Hoxha crashed his Ferrari 599 with the license plate "DK 3892 H" into a maple tree in a flower garden near the Lana river.

[5][6] Shortly after Hoxha's death, there were many responses from news and media organisations, and even Hashim Thaçi, who was prime minister of Kosovo during that time.

Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaçi's response: It was with sadness that we received the news of the tragic death of the President of the company Top Media, Dritan Hoxha.

Please accept my deepest condolences on behalf of the government of Kosovo, and on my behalf.Menduh Thaçi's response: We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic death of your son, husband and father.

In these difficult moments for all of us, we feel, however, the premature demise of Tani (nickname for Dritan) will in no way be the end of his exemplary work with Top Media.

Moreover, we are convinced that his image will continue even further through the media that he created and left behind, which, without any doubt, will not stop following the professional spirit that Tani established.

We feel it is our duty to emphasize that with his loss, we have lost a colleague, a friend, but above all a man who has done a lot for the Albanian media in general.
