A memorial plaque-obelisk has been unveiled in honour of martyr Ali Ajeti in Miroc, Podujeva. He gave his life for the freedom of Kosovo.
The mother of the martyr, Vahide Ajeti, emotionally thanked those present for honouring her son.
The Mayor of Podujeva, Shpejtim Bulliqi, said that Ali Ajeti was among the early activists of the resistance for Kosovo’s freedom and that his sacrifice remains an inspiration for younger generations.
Ali Ajeti’s friend and fellow activist, Ismet Abdullahu, recalled the events of May 30, 1989, when, according to him, Ali Ajeti was killed while protecting students and his comrades from the police forces of the time.“This day reminds us of an extremely important but also painful and proud event from 27 years ago, because on that occasion the national martyr Ali Ajeti fell heroically, while saving his comrades and students who were organized to avoid being arrested by the police unit of that time. 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,” Abdullahu said.
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.
