Young Kristi Reci, 24, was among the victims of the horrific earthquake that struck Albania two days ago. She was the fiancée of the son of the country's prime minister Edi Rama.

When reporters asked the prime minister about the young woman's death, Rama looked down, closed his eyes, and seemed very upset.
