Commander Drini's rare 1999 (Video) speech

In a video published in YouTube, Ekrem Rexha, known as Commander Drini, speaks of fighting in Jeskove.

And now we're gonna pick them up and make a resume. We will collect good works and our mistakes, perhaps even further. Who were those brave men and martyrs in the Drini” area, he said.

We're talking about a period of one year and more, before one year the situation was more different than right now. The situation on Kosovo's entire territory was very complicated. On June 21, 1998, Drini's free zone has been declared. With the financial tools we've collected from this people, we've bought the weapons and we've got furniture up to 630 soldiers here in front of”, he's going on.

Otherwise, just after the end of the war, for killing one of the most prominent KLA figures, Commander Drinit, had been sentenced to 15 years in prison by a former superior of his own. KLA, Sali Wessel. Two years later, the Supreme Court had freed Wessel from all charges. The principal Witness was Remzi Shala. The same one was now invited by the Special Tributal, as suspicious.

Remzi Shala, former KLA member, has been invited by the Special Court to interview as suspect of war crimes.

Several invitations have already been made public that the Special Court has launched to a number of former UCKA members, but most of them do not know the concrete reasons for the interest of prosecutors and investigators in this school.

However, Shala, a generally unknown name to the public shortly after the end of the war, has an earlier court story, for one of the murders that had shocked Kosovo, the one of Ekrem Rega, known by the name of the war as Commander Drini.

In 2002, Shala was the main witness in the trial of this murder, where the prime suspect had been a commander, also known for the war, Sali Wessel.

Sali Wessel, former KLA KLA commander and KPC general, was sentenced by the International Judicial Panel at the District Court in Prizren for killing Commander Drin with 15 years of freedom, while the other accused Abbit Haziray, former KLA member, was acquitted of having been acquitted of having no testimony.

Commander Drini was killed in May 2000, while Sali Wessel was arrested on May 8, 2001.

Remzi Shala had collaborated with Wessel during the war, while after the war he had become his driver. After the assassination of Commander Drin, Shala became the main witness against his boss's friend.

“For the first time I realized that Drini's murder was being prepared in Wessel's office when Fatosi (Nal Chadak's nickname) entered Wessel's office and told him that he had written this dog (for Drin), (for the newspaper of the Hope dagos ~x1>, and according to Shala, Wessel told him that “knew the order and Fatos had returned that I would tear this dog and throw it into the UNCH3fax, Rezi had testified at the trial of 2002.

Afterwards, Shala, in this trialal process, had confessed how after Drin's burial, they celebrated at “Pojata” where there were 13 people, including Sali Veselin, Halil Chadrac, Sadik Halitaj, Alush Shala, Xhemajl Beciray, acknowledging that she has been there.

According to him, Wessel at that lunch at “Pojata” said that “we killed Drin, and now Bislim Office is in line and that I kill the man and read the report to him at”.

However, after the 15 - year sentence, Sali Wessel had filed complaints with the Supreme Court. She had declared him innocent in 2004, releasing him from all charges, that he was involved in the murder of Commander Drini. That way, since then, one of the enigmatic killings committed in post-war Kosovo has remained unprecedented.
