According to her, this manifestation is dedicated to the endless series of freedom fighters, which has reached a high cultural level and has made Gjilan the cultural capital of Albanians for 32 years now.

"This manifestation always got richer, it always flowed in the spirit of unity, therefore it sent the bequest of the martyrs to the country", said Morina-Bunjaku.

The researcher Sabile Keçmezi-Basha, who presented her study at this table, emphasized that "Flaka e Janari" honors the sacrifice of the heroes who fell for freedom from the period of Skanderbeg until the liberation war. It has had a chronological presentation, especially after the Second World War onwards, focusing on all the important periods from the demands for the flag and the republic, the will for freedom and that precisely in those times the "Flame of January" has started its journey, precisely at the time of the suppression of Kosovo's autonomy and in the absence of freedom.

As it was announced in the communique of the municipality of Gjilan, it said that in the 90's the invaders tried to destroy every aspect of life in Kosovo, there was violence, arrests and murders and the "Flaka e Janari" was a form of resistance to the invader. Keçmezi-Basha stated that with this manifestation, heroes and martyrs were honored and with it, according to her, a call was made for unity and empowerment and the people were prepared for the days to come.

"The Flame of January was an organization that terrified the enemy and although there was an attempt to prevent it, "Flaka..." had an even more violent explosion, therefore it occupies a worthy place in the history of Kosovo", said Keçmezi-Basha .

The Deputy Minister of Defense and one of the initiators of "Flaka e Janari", Shemsi Syla, said that this manifestation has kept the ideal of freedom alive.

Recalling the first initiatives for the creation of this manifestation, Syla said that there were difficult times, times of classic occupation, but that the initiators did not stop, inspired by the heroism of Jusuf Gërvalla, Kadri Zeka, Bardhosh Gërvalla, Rexhep Mala, Nuhi Berisha and other heroes.
