Bayram Rexhepi, I have to remember forever!“, wrote the former Citaku ambassador.
In April 2017, the former prime minister was admitted to KKUK due to a health attack on vital organs, while then sent to Turkey for recovery abroad.
After a five - month battle with the disease, Rexhepi passed away on August 21, 2017, leaving behind his wife and daughter.
During the 1999 Kosovo war, Rexhepi joined the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) and spent three months serving as a doctor on the ground. He served as chairman of southern Mitrovica, working with UN and NATO peacekeepers to reduce civil unrest.
On March 4th 2002, after three months of talks and the mediation of then UNMIK chief Michael Steiner, the Kosovo Assembly elected Bajram Rexhepi as Kosovo's first post-war prime minister.
