Glauk Konjufca, the Speaker of the Kosovo Assembly, expressed his condolences following the passing of Haxhi Thaçi, the father of former President Hashim Thaçi. Konjufca praised Haxhi Thaçi as a significant source of patriotism, particularly influencing his son, Hashim Thaçi, who played a leading role in Kosovo’s history.
Konjufca visited the Thaçi family in Burojë and signed the condolence book, where he shared heartfelt words about Haxhi Thaçi’s legacy:
“Haxhi Thaçi was widely known as a great patriot and a wise elder. He instilled patriotism in his family, especially his son Hashim, who became President of Kosovo and led numerous critical processes in the country’s history. From the student movement in the 90s to leading the KLA with his comrades, including Jakup Krasniqi, Rexhep Selimi, and Kadri Veseli, Haxhi Thaçi’s inspiration played a pivotal role in Kosovo’s freedom.”
Konjufca also highlighted the vital role of the UÇK (Kosovo Liberation Army) in the country’s fight for independence, which ultimately led to Kosovo’s liberation. He added that Kosovo’s freedom would not have been possible without the patriotism and guidance passed down through generations, particularly from figures like Haxhi Thaçi.
Konjufca is the first Vetëvendosje leader to publicly respond to Haxhi Thaçi’s death and visit the family to offer his condolences.
