The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, has stated that Ilaz Kodra and all the martyrs of Kosovo are evidence of the just war and the reaffirmation of the truth that in the 90s, Kosovo was a victim of Serbian aggression, while Serbia was the aggressor.

Osmani at the solemn session, in honor of the fall of the KLA commander, Ilaz Kodra, and the 315 martyrs who fell on April 30, 1999 in Drenica, said that 25 years ago the villages of Vërboc, Shtutica, Dashec, Baks and Gllobar experienced the brutality of the genocidal regime of Serbia, in an offensive that had the sole purpose of exterminating and ethnically cleansing the Albanians from Kosovo.

However, the inhabitants of these villages were protected by the Kosovo Liberation Army led by the hero Ilaz Kodra and his comrades, who bravely and courageously resisted until the sacrifice.

The Speaker of the Assembly, Glauk Konjufca, Prime Minister Albin Kurti also spoke about Ilaz Kodra and the 315 martyrs who fell on April 30, 1999 in Drenica.
