Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has commemorated the murder of three Albanian intellectuals – Bajram Kelmendi, Agim Hajrizi and Latif Berisha – who were executed by Serbian forces on the night of March 24, 1999, the day NATO bombings against Serbia began.

In a post on social media, Kurti said that these three activists of the national cause and supporters of the liberation war were attacked by Serbian forces in their homes.

"Serbian police forcibly entered the home of lawyer Bajram Kelmendi, a prominent human rights activist. They kidnapped him along with his sons, Kastrioti and Kushtrimi, who were found murdered two days later," Kurti said.

He also remembered trade unionist Agim Hajrizi, who was executed in his home in Mitrovica along with his mother Nazmije and his 11-year-old son, Ilir.
