Ali was injured a little further while protecting the students so they would not be arrested by the police during the protests of May 30. We were illegal at that time, for three months since March, all of us. We had collectively decided that with the arrival of parliamentary forces in Kosovo, we would come out and express the dissatisfaction of the citizens of Kosovo, in Podujeva and throughout Kosovo, but unfortunately this did not happen in other municipalities,\u201d <\/em>Abdullahu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on behalf of the family, Isa Ajeti said that the bust will stand as an eternal symbol of glory, sacrifice, and the resilience of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the ceremony, family members, institutional representatives, and citizens unveiled the memorial plaque of hero Ali Ajeti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A memorial plaque-obelisk has been unveiled in honour of martyr Ali Ajeti in Miroc, Podujeva.
