The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani, commemorated today the 26th anniversary of the fall of the hero Ilaz Kodra.
Ilaz Kodra’s dedication and sacrifice are a symbol of the battle for freedom. Today, we remember with respect, the extraordinary brave man and leader, who always stood firm for the cause of freedom and state. As one of the first pillars of the Kosovo Liberation Army, he believed in, fought and fell for freedom.
During every step of his journey, Ilaz was more than a commander, an inspiration, a symbol of boundless courage and sacrifice. With the calmness and strength that characterized him, he led the ranks of the KLA, in the first stages of organization and combat actions. But on April 30, 1999, his heroism reached its peak when he fell in the battle of Shtutica, becoming a permanent guardian of freedom and our Republic. His fall was a loss for all, but his legacy is an inspiration for generations.
May the memory of the hero Ilaz Kodra be eternal!
