Rugova was independent and was not imposed upon by society. Rugova\u2019s name still remains a field of study and reflection that comes together with the aesthetic dimension.

Today I will address Rugova\u2019s activity in the Writers\u2019 Association of Kosovo, where he began his public and political activity and from which he became a great leader&#8230; In the headquarters of the Writers\u2019 Association of Kosovo, on February 16, 1988, Ibrahim Rugova was elected its president. The hall was damp with poor lighting, as its small windows were blocked by the police building and the Yugoslav secret service. In that complex, alongside the police, there was also the Pristina prison. I do not know if the association entered this context intentionally, but the result was that it was under surveillance and threat. The only time Ibrahim was annoyed was when we passed near the Miq\u00ebs cafe, because the\u00a0State Security Administration\u00a0would provoke an incident,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Krasniqi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The name of Rugova is strongly associated with modern thought with Albanian literature and modern culture, theory, and national life.
