Thaci has called it a coward and a mercenary Anton Quinn, reminding him he was in the KLA with wages.

This clash started when MP Quinn told Thaci he was scared in the war.

I know you're scared in the war, I don't understand why now in peace”, Quinn said.

When you talk about war, don't sweat it, you've been in war. One leg is behind you in Albania, one in Kosovo. You are hi in Kosovo after NATO entered Kosovo. You fought, you were a warrior mercenary. You're a paid Bosco Bus. You must be ashamed. You the mercenary you fought there, one day you didn't have a war in Kosovo”, Thaci replied.

But do you know who Bushko Bhutha was like Thaci Quinn called him today?

Boško Buha, born in 1926, was a young Yugoslav partisan and an honourable Yugoslav resistance icon during World War II.

Buha was born into a Serb family in the village of Slavin, in present-day Croatia.

In 1941, following the invasion of the Yugoslav Kingdom's Bost and the founding of Croatia's Independent State, his family was in sight of Ustasa and had to seek refuge in Serbia.

He had tried to join the partisans, but was refused because of his youth (then he was only 15 years old). After some efforts, he managed to join the partisans and participated in active combat.

In 1942 he joined the YNLA Brigade II. Very soon he created a talent for destroying enemy bunkers with hand grenades.

His unit was named “Artillery partisan”. He, along with his unit, soon becomes the subject of legends of his day. At the end of 1942, Buha was publicly praised by Tito.

A year later, Buha died when he was attacked by the Chetniks. After the war, Boško Buha took the title of Yugoslavia's People's Hero.

A theatre in Belgrade now bears its name. And in 1979, Branko Bauer created a film about his life.

Now his name is often used as a metaphor for even words, as Quinn did for Thaci today./ P ERISCOPIA
