Today we honoured the heroes of the Epic of Dukagjin. March 24 marks one of the most glorious dates in our history, because a heroic war took place here in defence of the Albanian people from the massacres and the fiercest attacks of Serbian hegemony under the leadership of Milosevic’s genocidal and fascist regime.
The Haradinaj family and all of Gllogjan stood up to transform these towers into fortresses of freedom and many of those who fought fell martyrs, while many others continued to contribute to the freedom of Kosovo. Therefore, it is our duty as institutions of Kosovo, but above all as citizens of this free, sovereign and independent Republic, to always honour the sacrifice of the Haradinaj family and all those who fell for freedom as part of the Epic of Dukagjin and the battles that were fought in this part of Kosovo, but to also honour all the heroes who fell, not only on this date, for our freedom.
As you know, today we also honour the anniversary of NATO’s intervention, which more or less shows that the combination of our liberation war on the one hand and the help of our allies on the other, finally brought the freedom for which generations were sacrificed, and at the same time it is a message that only united for a sovereign Kosovo, but also with the help of our allies, can Kosovo achieve historic successes, as it has done through liberation, then independence and state-building.
Glory to the heroes!
May their memory be eternal!
Thank you!
