As we are in the World Cup atmosphere, the well-known British magazine "Monocle" thought to form a powerful team, bringing together 11 mayors from all over the world. In this imaginary formation, among others, a strategic position was given to Erion Veliaj, that of the wing striker.
"With the World Cup fever that has kidnapped us all, we thought we would form together a superstar mayor squad, willing to give 110%" on the playing field. " We all know that matches are won by goals and starting from improving public transport (for pedestrians) to tackling the topic of racism, our mayor has a lot of goalscorer. "
According to the magazine, what joins these 11 leaders is the way of thinking with an unusual smell that characterizes it.
"The rule of football has often shown us that a champion team is second only to the champion team. But, our Election of the World Mayors includes both of these. Unlike most of the coaches who had to bring only one team to the World Cup, we were able to choose from all over the world - but this, of course, made our task even more difficult. "
After summarizing the work of the mayors selected, Veliajt's turn, the eleventh in the ranking, comes.

Velia's efforts to lower the city's cars and increase the use of bicycles on the streets of the city have made Tirana more efficient. His past as an activist, he gives him the iconoclastic passion of a former magazine editor.
