Many other friends and readers want to know more about the eventual ties President Ibrahim Rugova could have with Commander and hero Adem Yasar. I'm giving the stories of two people, Skender Zogaj and Mary Base who were there when that picture was made. I hope their statements will be enough to make the truth clear about such a controversial matter.

ZOGY SKANDER:

My dear friend, Freedom Loshi, since you've highlighted me, more impressive and high social considerations for you, I'm explaining about the photograph involving Adam Jahar with President Ibrahim Rugova.

And I have to say, Enver Demiri is wrong informed, because there are no pictures of Adem Yasar standing in the middle of Ibrahim Rugovas and Fehmi Agani made on the Tirana Boulevard in 1996. No, there are no such spells. It's just a photograph of uncontainable originality, taken at Tirana Airport on March 12, 1993, during President Rugova's visit to Albania and concerns the meeting with journalists, where Mehmet Kraja is present, as representative of the R Office. Kosovo, I as Mr. Kraja, Mr. President's escort. Adnan Merovci, Ademi Jashari, who was at the time in Albania for military training, Binak Kelmendi journalist of “Renaissance” and other journalists we were officially in Rinas for President Rugova's reception. There's been a lot of talk about this picture in some chocolate, not very desirable about the truth of the photograph and of Adam's relationship with the President.

Ademi was on hold with his request and very excited about the coming of the president, who he called “-Comandanti”! This I know correctly, because in Tirana with Adem Yasar, I have fallen into contact and conversation several times, very friendlyly, in the offices of Kosovo's representing since then been located in the National Museum building, and outside. This is the truth of this photograph, which is undoubtedly historical, because it has the two most suggestive men in Kosovo's history, Ibrahim Rugova and Adem Jasharin.

MERCO BAZE:

In front of the crowd, from left to right are sitting Arben Popocci because the VAT camera started. His arm is Binak Kelmendi, who seems to be just a few heads, at the time editor of Switzerland's Renaissance who had just moved to Tirana, then it's me, which seems to me that it's <x0... V S.B. Brad Muharrem, who no longer lives and someone sitting in front that I don't remember who he was.

The truth is that Adem Jashari was at the time coming to Tirana and was linked to the Kosovo office because of the funding she did for troops trained under the supervision of the Albanian state at a barracks in Labino and the United School. Then he was not the famous man who is today, and has not come out because he had close ties with Rugova, but has turned out to respect Rugova as the president of Kosovo and wanted to receive him as everyone else. This does not diminish the value of his heroic act and his family, but does not add anything to Rugova, making it hard to cooperate with Adam Yashhar. It is good to use such pictures, not for propaganda, but for historical truths.

I, who had seen Adam Yashhar several times, when he came to the editorial of “Renaissance” in Tirana, or at the “Bar Cumanova” in Tirana, when the tragedy occurred on March 6, and I was making news about the Jashar family, couldn't connect the name to the face and I didn't know it was about this person. Later when I saw the photos and remembered who it was, I made an idea for it.

Therefore, it is good not to produce unnecessary legends with this picture. With what the Jashar family has done, it has entered the history of our nation as a martyr family that has put blood on the foundations of Kosovo, and as far as Ibrahim Rugova has done, it has entered Kosovo's history as its State Father. This photo simply shows that the two in their work did something for Kosovo, but not that they were collaborators or two legendary figures co-operating “each with war, and the other with peace”. They've done enough on their own. Don't make them hard work. History has made them!
