As noted, the consular section of the embassy is in constant contact with the law enforcement agencies of the country and is clarifying the circumstances of the incident.

“We look forward to a thorough investigation by the Albanian side of the causes of death of Russians,” the embassy added.

The diplomatic mission clarified that the relatives of the deceased have been notified, and that the bodies are currently to be repatriated to their homeland.

According to the Albanian media, the bodies of four Russians were found in a hotel sauna in the village of Kerret, Kawaya district.
