“I received with great pain the news of the passing away of Professor Edi Shukriu, member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo, a long-time professor of the University of Pristina as well as a prominent political and institutional activist.
The passing away of Edi Shukriu is a great loss for the Albanian scholastic and scientific world as she was a highly respectable name in the field of archaeology and history, fields in which she left an indelible mark. Being among the first Albanian archaeologists, she laid the foundations of archaeological study in Kosovo and to which she dedicated almost all of her life, commencing and directing various research and scientific institutions and projects. A person with a pronounced poetic vocation, prof. Shukriu is also known in the field of literature. She has bequeathed us several poetic works.
At these difficult moments, empathize with her family, friends and colleagues.
“Eternal memory for Edi!” states President Osmani’s condolence telegram.
