On January 31, 1997, one of the first major battles of members of the Kosovo Liberation Army took place.
The three strategists, Zahir Pajaziti, Hakif Zejnullahu and Edmond Hoxha, were traveling from Pristina towards Vushtrri, when their group was discovered by Serbian security forces, who had set up an ambush in the village of Pestovë, where unfortunately all three fell heroically in battle with them.
Zahir Pajaziti began his military activities in the 1990s. In the circumstances created during the general strikes in Kosovo held on September 3, 1990, Zahir and other activists began working to establish a security network in Kosovo.
As a result of this work, Zahiri and the Orllani activists create the Guerrilla Unit Headquarters in Orllani.
In 1991, after illegal and legal activities began to be coordinated in Kosovo, Zahiri went to Albania for military purposes.
Upon returning to Kosovo in 1992, his group was discovered and Zahir had to go underground for several months.
Until 1992, he contributed to the supply of weapons to the headquarters established in the Orllani area.
During 1994, Zahiri began to engage in other parts of Kosovo for the creation of the KLA. Thus, he is one of the founders of the KLA General Staff and a member of it from the beginning, from where the coordination of political and military activities begins.
Zahiri stands out at this time as an excellent organizer and implementer of guerrilla attacks against Serbian forces in Kosovo, especially in the Llapi region.
For all his activities, the greatest help was given by his cousin Fadil Pajaziti, who was a businessman and almost all of his financing came from him.
On January 31, 2008, on the 11th anniversary of the fall, Kosovo's president, Fatmir Sejdiu, awarded Zahir Pajaziti with Kosovo's highest state decoration, the Hero of Kosovo Order.
Zahir was the leader of one of the major branches of the war, which later, naturally, merged into the Kosovo Liberation Army. Being the leader of one of the major branches of the war, he was also one of the co-creators of the Kosovo Liberation Army.
Edmond Hoxha was the only one who had the intention of creating new dimensions for his family tradition or for Kosovo.
Since at the age of six, when he was still a child, he had witnessed the handcuffing and imprisonment of his older brother, Xhaviti, and since he had seen from this that there was pain, but there was no breaking, he had decided to become a pillar of unbreakability, no matter how painful this had been.
Edmond was a student with a desire to become a soldier and a man of science, a young man who had chosen to live a different and yet very youthful life; perhaps more than anything, he would embark on a path that his people had opened, with all the pain it had brought, with all the bloodshed they had experienced and would experience.
Hakif Zejnullahu has a contradiction between his silence and the work he has done. If his silence is extraordinary, his work is also extraordinary. It is one of the most special cases of the war, when an important figure like him has remained, with a deep naturalness, in the place that was assigned to him, as Zahir Pajaziti's deputy and his assistant, and all this was very silent.
Hakif and Zahir were not just nephew and uncle, but they had everything virtuous in common./ KosovaPress
