Lumir Abdixhiku, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, honored Colonel Tahir Zemaj on the 22nd anniversary of his assassination, along with his son Enis and Hasan Zemaj. Abdixhiku praised Zemaj as a symbol of courage, patriotism, and resistance against Serbian oppression.
“A devoted soldier and unparalleled strategist, he led heroic battles in Dukagjin, offering Kosovo the finest example of a liberator. From the Battle of Loxha to his relentless efforts for unity and justice, Tahir Zemaj’s figure stands as an icon of resistance against Serbian oppression and a beacon of hope that illuminated Kosovo’s path to liberation. As an early activist of the Democratic League of Kosovo and a close collaborator of historic President Dr. Ibrahim Rugova, Colonel Zemaj exemplified unwavering commitment to the principles of freedom, democracy, and national unity.”
He highlighted Zemaj’s role as a military strategist and early activist in Kosovo’s liberation, emphasizing his collaboration with historic President Ibrahim Rugova. Abdixhiku called the 2003 assassination a tragic reminder of the ongoing need for justice and underscored the importance of respecting Kosovo’s past sacrifices to build a brighter future.
Zemaj’s legacy, Abdixhiku concluded, remains an enduring inspiration for Kosovo’s freedom and democracy.
