One blow, two steps, and then he fell to the ground. This is how Erjon Vishkulli describes the moment he was injured in the eye by a rubber bullet during the protest.

Amidst the pain and uncertainty about his vision, he recounts for the first time exclusively to Top Channel journalist Endi Tufa what happened, just before everything changed.

The bullet is still in his left eye, and hope now lies with doctors and a more specialized intervention.

"I went to meet my friends and was about to leave. I had taken off my oxygen mask and at that moment I met a fellow journalist. I had the police about 30 meters away, without any reaction, without anything. Only when I got hit, I walked about two meters and fell to the ground," he said.

It all happened in a matter of seconds. Erjoni says he was only partially conscious after the blow. His memories of what happened next are few, but he remembers the help of a friend, who transported him by car. After that, he began another battle, this time in the hospital, with the pain and fear that he might lose his sight.

"I was barely conscious, while a friend accompanied me in a car. That's all I remember," he said.

The rubber bullet is still in Erjon's left eye. The consequences of the impact and the risk to his eyesight remain his main concern. He does not hide the pain, while there is still no certainty about what may happen next.

"I still have the rubber bullet in my eye. I don't know how high the risk is right now, but it's not easy, because I'm in a lot of pain," he told Top Channel.

Under these conditions, specialized treatment has become the main hope to save the damaged eye. After Top Channel contacted the hospital staff, doctors and Erjon's relatives, his transport to a hospital in Rome was secured, where he is expected to depart this afternoon to receive more specialized medical care.

Amidst pain and uncertainty, Erjoni concludes his testimony with two words: “Only victory.” An expression that, after what he has experienced, takes on an even stronger meaning.

"Only victory," he says.

Endi Tufa: What does this mean?

 "Albania is ours," he concludes the interview.
