Acting President of the Republic of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, has commemorated the anniversary of the Polac massacre and the battle at Abri e Epërme in Drenicë.
Acting President Haxhiu said that we bow with deep respect to the memory of 78 innocent civilians and 8 martyrs who fell in one of the most painful events of our recent history.
“This wound still remains open, as even today there are people missing, keeping alive the pain and anguish of their families. The memory of them does not fade, it obliges us to never forget and to seek justice incessantly for all the crimes committed. With the same respect, we also remember the battle at Abri e Epërme in Drenicë, where the martyrs Xhevat Demaku, Bedri Demaku and Imer Shala fell heroically, thus becoming a symbol of sacrifice and resistance for the freedom of the country”, said Acting President Haxhiu.
She also added that memory is not only honor but also responsibility, adding further that it is a pledge that the truth will not fade away and that justice will remain a permanent request.
