On the 23rd anniversary of the assassination, we respectfully commemorate Smajl Hajdaraj, the MP, political activist and commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army, who was treacherously killed in an ambush on January 17, 2002.
He stopped neither in war nor in peace, always remaining faithful to the ideals of freedom and independence. But, unfortunately, he was killed at a time when Kosovo needed people like him – for state-building and strengthening of democracy.
The freedom he fought for cannot be complete without justice, so the perpetrators must be discovered and brought to justice.
Smajl Hajdaraj will always remain in our memory as a symbol of resistance and sacrifice.
Glory to his life and work!
