Albanian Ademi Demaci: The story of how my father gave me this name

He had no chance of being born like most other children.

When he was born, he felt only his mother's warm embrace, not even his father's.

Annie was alive because he was alive. His presence was missing.

That was because he was in prison and was imprisoned by Serbs for placing 99 Albanian flags on major streets of Kosovo cities.

It was 1965 when the visionary for the liberation of the homeland and the freedom of Albanians Adem Demaci became the parent of a boy.

And the news came only behind the shutters.

Despite this, however, he had left a message to his wife in prison.

He had decided that his child's name would be special to others. All of this about national equality, since it was missing at the time.

Boy or girl, he would be born Albanian or Albanian. And already had Adam and Demas put it on his head.

Just today for the Festival of Albanians, the Festival of November 28th, Flag Day, for FrontOnline, in a special confession the son of Adem Demac, Albanian Demac, tells the entire event of his name.

Says his name is blood for national equality.

Dad, at the time of his political prison sentence, ordered his mother that if she left a boy to be named Albanian, and if she leaves a girl: the name of an Albanian. The name was intended, blood feuding for national equality, which at the time was extremely flawed, because it was time that the Kosovo Albanians were forcibly displaced in Turkey and nationally discriminated against”, Demaci for FrontOnline has been expressed.

Demach tells what his nickname was and who were the people who did not call him by name

Annie's name is Albanian, not everyone called it that.

Albanian Demaci had different nicknames.

Family members and relatives called him by other names, and some other relatives called him.

There were a total of five nicknames.

In a conversation about FrontOnline, Demach relates his other names with whom he was known.

As a child, my family of relatives called me Sipipiku, later ékès, someone who says he's used to his name and that I'm not surprised.

Adem Demach's son: I didn't mean to change my name, it was a serious situation for all Albanians.

Albanian Demaci, son of Ademi Demac in a confession to FrontOnline, has said he never thought to change his name, even though his name had a particular symbol.

As Demach explains the meaning of his name, he claims that the name is a sign and does not change.

Of course not. It's a Latin word: “Nomen est omen” (Your name is a sign, fatum, that whatever you are) ”, he said.

I, asked what difficulties she faced during the time of Serbian occupation when it comes to extracting documents and denying other rights, Demac, without wanting to give details says that time has been difficult for all Albanians.

That time was a hard time for the population throughout the former Yugoslavia and especially for Bosniaks and Kosovo Albanians. But, the Serbian occupationist regime does not have time to deal with the details”, Demacchi has said, for FrontOnline.

But he relates what had happened when his mother had gone to register him in the civil office.

Of course they asked Mom what this name is and my name was then recorded in Cyrillic letters.

Albanian Demaci is the son of the event Adem Demaci, while by profession he is a teorcal surgeon.

Otherwise, his parent, Adem Demach, died in 2018 and is a symbol of national resistance. For his political commitment, Adem Demaci suffered 28 years in Yugoslavia's prisons. After his release, he immediately continued his political activity. His name is Nelson Mandela of Europe.

In 1991 it was honoured by the European Parliament at the Sakharov Award. During the 1998/1999 period, when meetings were held in Ramboullet for Kosovo's future, he was the KLA's political spokesman.

Adem Demach with his life and work is a personality of the dimensions of human history, which includes our national history.

He wrote the novel “Blood Snakes”, which was banned by the former communist regime. He saw the light only after the nineth.
