The murderers, who left behind tragedy and pain, have still not been punished. This is a suffering which cannot be hidden, a wound that is still open. The acts of Colonel Tahir Zemaj, as an indomitable and courageous leader, continue to inspire generation after generation. The Colonel’s name will always be a symbol of sacrifice and the fight for freedom and independence, and for this reason finding the perpetrators of the murder and bringing them to justice are essential.
