Twenty-eight years prior, the echoes of gunfire resonated, and now, citizens, comrades, and relatives of the fallen heroes convened in Gllogjan to commemorate the enduring Epic of Dukagjin. Today, the doors of the Haradinaj family’s towers stood open, extending a warm welcome to friends and fellow soldiers. Gëzim Daka, a soldier from Brigade 137, highlighted Dukagjin’s substantial contribution to the liberation of the nation, acknowledging the youthful age of many involved.
Despite their relative inexperience, Dukagjin yielded invaluable service to Kosovo. The fact that we are present today underscores the considerable effort invested in securing freedom, a freedom earned through the dedication of numerous young men within our lands. This historic date, March 24th, united the entire nation, inspiring young people to actively participate.
The memory of this pivotal moment continues to hold immense significance, and the ongoing celebration serves as a testament to the sacrifices made. It is a day to reflect on the years since the initial conflict and to reaffirm the value of the freedom we now cherish, hoping we will continue to protect it.
