Left out of the media attention, Jonila Godole , former journalist in Albania, today one of the most vital voices to denounce communist crimes, at the end of September, ended her celibacy by tying the knot with a very vocal diplomat in Albania. Austrian ambassador Christian Steiner.
Godole, published on social networks photos from her wedding in the premises of Butrint.
Meanwhile, Steiner is no longer ambassador to Albania, but has taken the same position in Montenegro.
The journalist shows through photographs that for the first time she met her ex-husband in January 1997, when she was working as a journalist at the newspaper "Koha Jonë"; while Christian Steiner had just started his diplomatic career as attaché of the Austrian embassy, ??a post he held from 1996-1997.
The hectic events of those years have brought them together for the first time. It took more than 12 years for Christian and Jonila to meet again, and this happened in October 2019 when Stainer came to Albania again, but this time with the duty of ambassador. The couple apparently waited for Stainer to take another assignment, not in Albania, to continue their relationship. Meanwhile, the wedding comes at the end, on September 28, 2024, when Godole said "yes" to the diplomat's proposal and together they went to the altar to put a wreath.
