The Acting President of the Republic of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, accompanied by the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, paid homage at the tomb of Hero Agron Rrahmani, on the 28th anniversary of his fall.
“On the 28th anniversary of the fall, we respectfully commemorate the Hero of the Nation Agron Rrahmani. At a young age, he distinguished himself for his patriotic activities from Ballofc in Besiana to Prishtina.
He began his activity early as a high school student in Besianë, and later continued it in parallel education in Prishtinë, Tiranë, Tetovë and many other areas, and became one of the people of daily action”, said Acting President Haxhiu.
According to her, Agron and his friends carried out tasks that were not always visible to the public, but without which the war could not have been won: organization, movement, preparation, networking and complete belief that Kosovo had to be liberated.
“Agron Rrahmani was a brave fighter, but more than that, he was also a man of military organization in the city. Before taking charge of the “Rexhep Mala” unit in Prishtinë, he had taken on the combat training for LKÇK members and volunteers, and had helped establish the training center in Tiranë, where over 300 volunteers were trained,” emphasized Acting President Haxhiu.
She said that in February 1998, he was appointed commander of the first underground combat unit in Prishtinë, the unit that later named “Rexhep Mala”.
“Agron fell heroically on May 12th 1998. That was an atrocious week for our war effort and one of the most severe blows to the early organization of the liberation war. Before him, Bahri Fazliu had fallen on May 7th and Ilir Konushevci on May 9th. Eternal glory to the hero Agron Rrahmani and all the heroes and martyrs of the nation!”, emphasized Acting President Haxhiu.
