In an interview for Telegrafi, he says that only because his name was named Patriot, when he was stopped by Serbian police at the time, was questioned and tortured.
I started studying in 95-96, and going to college had problems getting the police on the street and asking me why this name and being persecuted has been half an hour beating me with a pendreke”, Patriot reports.
Rudari indicates that he was detained in Podujevo during wartime, allegedly part of the Kosovo Liberation Army.
The need for food was too big, and I had to go buy food in the city, and the Besiana Hotel was a notorious point, where the police stopped us, and they stopped me after the name story told me you were a member of the hotel. The NLA has even had a damaged ID and they suspected more, saying you've damaged it by leaving the mountains... I've had a lot of trouble with this name during the fight”, Rudari says.
The name Patriot says that it was not popular at the time, and in Kosovo was the first name, where later years people who had that name had changed.
“As I have information, my name may have been the first in Kosovo, so in 1974, and others have later, recently, of the 1990s, where even most of them had changed their name, to avoid the problem with Serbian occupant”, he said.
And in the context of that, he said he was fearless with the pressure and violence exerted by Serbian forces and never agreed to change his name even if they wanted to kill him.
My father was told to change my name, but I didn't care if he said no, they could beat me to death, but I don't change my name because the name is marked”, he claims.
And Rudari also says his friends had been making fun of him, saying that his name was Patriot and his name was Rudari is not going, because the village of Rudar is located in the state of Serbia.
As far as the name is concerned, my colleagues told me the name Patriot and the name Rudar didn't go because we're immigrants here, from Serbia's surname Rudiar in Serbian means xhehe”, he concluded../Telegraphy/
