Democratic Party Leader Pays Tribute to Rexhep Qosja
Kosovo Parliament – During a special session honoring the late academic Rexhep Qosja, Chairman Bedri Hamza of the Democratic Party of Kosovo expressed deep respect for Qosja’s legacy, as reported by Ekonomia Online on April 27, 2026. Hamza characterized Qosja as a significant figure who challenged prevailing norms. The chairman stated that Qosja’s passing represents a substantial loss for critical discourse and freedom of expression within Albanian society.
He emphasized that Qosja was not simply a recorder of his era, but rather a critical observer. “We didn’t just lose one man of knowledge,” Hamza stated. “We lost an institution dedicated to critical thought, a platform for free speech, and a voice that consistently advocated for transparency.” Hamza highlighted Qosja’s unwavering commitment to speaking out, asserting that his influence will continue to be felt.
Qosja’s work was noted for its independent perspective. According to Hamza, Qosja was not a product of the times he lived through, but actively worked against them. The chairman underscored the importance of Qosja’s continued relevance in fostering debate and upholding intellectual freedom.
