Prishtina, May 16th 2019 \u2013 The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Hashim Tha\u00e7i, participated today at the Memorial Academy in honour of the hero Abaz Tha\u00e7i.<\/p>\n
President Tha\u00e7i said that Tha\u00e7i comes from a patriotic family, from an area where Hasan Prishtina, Azem and Shote Galica, Shaban Polluzha and Mehmet Gradica also originate from. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe originates from an area, a patriotic educational environment of the legendary commander Adem Jashari, and all those men who gave all with their knowledge and in combat for making of the state of Albania and for the continuation of the war for the liberation of Kosovo. Abaz\u2019s family is a patriotic family who cultivated at all times the education for war of independence and liberation and due to the national and patriotic engagements, for the liberation of Kosovo, was often times punished and tortured by the Serbian police. His father, and other members of the family were persecuted, arrested and ill-treated. But under no conditions did they stop in their engagements for freedom, independence and liberation,\u201d said President Tha\u00e7i.<\/p>\n
The head of state also added that Abaz\u2019s thirst for knowledge was immense.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe chose a specific line of education, a military education, and very soon he managed to grasp not only the theoretical knowledge but also practicalities, and became an active and dynamic officer, distinguished among those who served in Croatia and Slovenia, on which I believe some of his colleagues, both school and war colleagues will talk about,\u201d added President Tha\u00e7i.<\/p>\n
When the wars broke out in former Yugoslavia, said the President, Abaz together with his friends helped and advised Albanian soldiers to leave the wars they had no reason to fight at all.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter being demobilised from the Croatian army, Abaz went to live in Germany, but wherever he was, far from Drenica, the lands of former Yugoslavia or in the west, the longing for his motherland, for his beloved Drenica, for Kosovo, made him leave the west, the good life and join what he was born for and educated by his family, and professionally trained for, he joined the fight for the liberation of Kosovo. All the knowledge he had obtained, he gave in service of the Kosovo Liberation Army, of the war for freedom and independence and was the image of the unification of all those who fought against the Serbian army and Serbian police,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n
The head of state pointed out that Abaz Tha\u00e7i was the key figure of the 138 Agim Ramadani brigade, linked to a number of successful actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe breaking of the border between Kosovo and Albania, is directly linked with the life and activities of Abaz and his fellow brothers in arms,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n
