Lumir Abdixhiku, Chairman of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), issued a statement following the passing of Eqrem Kryeziu, a prominent figure who served as the former mayor of the Municipality of Prizren. The statement highlighted Kryeziu’s significant contributions to both Kosovar intellectual life and the development of the LDK. Abdixhiku characterized Kryeziu as an outstanding intellectual and a key activist from the founding generation of the LDK.
He emphasized the depth of the loss to the nation, stating that Kosovo has lost a dedicated servant of its institutions. The Chairman further noted that the passing marked a significant blow to the LDK, describing Kryeziu as one of its most important members. Furthermore, the statement acknowledged Kryeziu’s deep connection to the region, noting that Prizren has lost one of its key personalities who was known for representing and guiding the community with dignity.
According to Abdixhiku, Kryeziu’s historical involvement was notable, as he was recognized as a core member of the LDK’s founding cohort and a close collaborator with the late Ibrahim Rugova. The tributes underscore Kryeziu’s lasting impact on the political landscape of Kosovo. His dedication to the institutions and his early activism are cited as reasons why his passing is viewed by the LDK leadership and the community of Prizren as a substantial loss to the national narrative and the political history of the region.
