If one person is killed reading the statement, the other”

On this historic day, Kosovo has been declared a special entity, within the then Yugoslav federation. And for reading the Constitutional Declaration of Kosovo, Albanian delegates were ready to give their lives, reports Inseyder.

So he had confessed two years earlier to Adem Mikulovci, the former Kosovo District Convention delegation who had said delegates from that Parliament had been threatened.

Mikulovci has indicated that at the time delegates had 500,000 signatures of young Albanians demanding that Kosovo be the republic. According to him, delegates found it difficult to make that decision, but decided to take this journey to the end, though he stressed that they were threatened by the barrels of Serbian statistics.

We were set to death: if the sniper kills Muharrem Shaban by reading the statement, we must keep another, the other, the other one... until the statement is read”, he indicated, two years ago in an interview with Rockm TV.

July 2nd Constitutional Declaration also marks the starting point for Kosovo's independence from Serbia, aiming to be treated as equal to then socialist republics in the Yugoslav federation.
