Rex0brahim Rexhepi has known no differences, especially not in generations. It was a subsisting of the age of the people he was staying with, the people he informed, with whom he never spared, shared the most expensive part of it. The lessons learned and the knowledge gained over four and a half decades of his work on journalism and analyst”, she has said.

In Ibrahim Rexhepi's case, we are dealing with a man who has built an important part of the history of modern Kosovo journalism. It is, I freely say, the chief master of Kosovo economic journalism, has been number one, this one, I believe the Association of Kosovo Journalists would have to appreciate it. I personally think that an award for economic journalism, by the name of Ibrahim Rexhepi, is the least we as a journalist's community and as his colleagues can do to respect his work and work”, he said.

The chairman of the Union of Albanian Journalists, Aleksandar Cipa, said Ibrahim Rexhepi was the first publisher of socio-economic thought in Albanian journalism and recalled that Rexhepi had led the first economic profile jury “Vangjush Gambeta”.

“in this period and in the period that follows Ibra will be remembered for the organisation that I have the pleasure to run, the Union of Albanian Journalists, as the journalist who first led a first jury of economic profile such as the jury “Vangyush Gambeta” of economic journalists in Albanian space”, Cipa has said.

While AGK head Gentiana Begolli said Rexhepi had made no distinctions in age, but had also helped and praised young journalists.

Only someone like that day, honored and magnificent as it was, and really left us. In short, with a lot of work, more love and unwarranted support for young journalists, about what we were up to yesterday, and we continue to be in mourning today, because we lost a colleague and unsurpassed friend”, Begolli said.

While Ibrahim Rexhepi's family member, Skender Rexhepi, shared memories of their childhood, where he mentioned that Ibrahim Rexhepi as a young man had withdrawn from journalism. He recalled that when Rexhep's father returned from work, he expected Abraham to bring him the daily newspaper.
