On Liberation Day, Albulena Haxhiu, the Chief of Staff of the President of the Republic of Kosovo, presented the “Order of Freedom” to Adem Shehi. During the ceremony, Haxhiu highlighted Shehi’s significant contributions to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). According to Haxhiu, Shehi arrived at a critical juncture when the KLA required personnel capable of transforming raw commitment into structured discipline.
She emphasized that his expertise was vital in channeling collective will into military order, and raw courage into focused action, thereby developing new fighters into trained soldiers. Haxhiu noted that Shehi possessed not only the theoretical knowledge of an officer but also extensive army experience coupled with a deep sense of duty. Haxhiu detailed his preparatory work, stating that prior to direct combat involvement, Shehi was instrumental in organizing and training hundreds of volunteers and soldiers within the UÇK structure.
Furthermore, his operational service included serving as the commander of the 153rd Brigade ‘Hyzri Talla’ within the Llap Operational Zone. In this capacity, he was tasked with reinforcing units operating across the Llap and Gollak areas. The awarding of the “Order of Freedom” by Haxhiu serves as a formal recognition of Adem Shehi’s sustained commitment and leadership during periods of intense conflict.
The recognition underscores his role in providing the necessary organizational framework and military capability when it was most needed by the Kosovo forces.
