Konjufca goes to offer condolences to the Thaçi family – calls the former president one of the most important bearers for the people

The Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca, today went to offer condolences to the Thaçi family following the death of the father of former president, Hashim Thaçi, Haxhi Thaçi.

In a statement to Tëvë1, he emphasized the importance and great influence that Haxhi Thaçi had in shaping the life and career of President Hashim Thaçi.

"We all knew Bacin Haxhi as a great patriot and wise old man who deeply inspired his family, his relatives and this part of Drenica. Above all, he inspired his son Hashim Thaçi with patriotism, who was the president of the Republic of Kosovo, but also one of the very important bearers of our past," said Konjufca.

He also mentioned Hashim Thaçi's role in the difficult period of 1990, in the fight for freedom and today in The Hague, reports Telegraph.

"Even during the '90s, from the student movement, then at the head of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) together with its activists, they are defending the cause even in The Hague with uncle Jakup, with Rexhep Selimi and chairman Kadri Veseli, they were at the head of the KLA, which thanks to the glorious war brought freedom, then the declaration of independence and in all the most important processes of Kosovo. This would not have happened without a doubt without the inspiration and without the inspiration that we have from our parents, just as President Thaçi undoubtedly had from uncle Haxhi. May he always be remembered, may the land of Kosovo rest in peace," said Konjufca.

Konjufca also left a note in the book of mourning for the now deceased, Haxhi Thaçi. /Telegraph/
