Former KLA soldiers: We've had a clean fight. We won't let him go.

Former superior Moose Gjakova said he is concerned with the investigation process against former KLA members by the Special Court, but stressed that he believes he will eventually prove to be a liberation war.

Kosovo has many challenges and we are facing court processes of KLA soldiers, where we are concerned about the way war crimes are acting unilaterally. I personally believe that the KLA war will also be witnessed in international courts, and we will be the ones to show the world that this has been a fair war, pure warfare in terms of all the orientations that today are internationally familiar with the international conventions of war”, he said.

Likewise, former fighter from the Drenica area, Naser Karpuzi, said that however hard they try to desecrate the KLA war, it is in vain, as their only mission has been to achieve liberation from the Serbian occupation.

“Although Serbia's efforts, I consider Serbia's but also our country's internal enemies unfortunately even during the war, even after its end, have begun to desecrate the KLA. This is futile because our army has had a mission, the liberation of Kosovo from the Serbian occupier, and the freedom of the country and that goal has been achieved thanks to the blood of martyrs. To bow to their own blood”, he stressed.

Emotion of Pride, Roading Straight to KLA

Moose Gjakova, superior to the KLA and former fighter from the Drenica area, Naser Carpuzi, relate to their Online Economy to join the arm of war, as well as to their personal experiences during the war.

Gjakova suggests that when the first steps for organising the liberation war began, he was in charge of Slovenia.

The trip to line up in the Kosovo Liberation Army was the effort of all the superiors at the time of 1991, where I, as a superior, was in office in Slovenia and since then began the most serious steps about organising possible war in Kosovo. That period was difficult, because it was decision-making that has to be done for Kosovo, even though it was terrible, we had no proper information, and we presented you with a very big risk job following various agencies, and I am proud to have been part of those warworks in Kosovo”, Gjakova said.

He also said that the 5th and 7th of March are glorious dates that should not be forgotten and that serve as guides how resistance to evil is made.

With the greatest respect, we bow down to the Jashari family, where for us and for all Kosovo citizens, it serves us as a guide to how freedom is fought, and from attacks for the third time that 52 Albanians were killed in Presaz, and from this number 22 were members of the Jashar family, from them and children and women. This serves us today to live with dignity and honesty that, for me as a superior, the March event was a violation, there I decided to mobilize and get on the list to gain superiors with other lists then and start the way to Kosovo, so immediately. These dates are the material date of valuable value, the foundation of independent citizenship, this was for us to launch a war against the aggressor, for a fight to protect the unarmed population”, he stressed.

With great fear, Gjakova had started this journey, but not because of fear of weapons, but because of fear of separation from her family.

We had very little information on what's coming to us, as I came to Tirana, I noticed the general staff that were full of superiors and homework, and family separation was very difficult for me, even though I had two kids then, but I didn't dare think about going back to Kosovo and not coming back, because each of us had that journey to act and get back to”, Gjakova indicated.

He finally tells of the enthusiasm experienced after his deliverance.

There are times of enthusiasm, which means after the liberation where Kosovo was empty, where on the short track the return of all citizens to their hearths, it was an extremely difficult feeling to describe all that joy. We were solid among ourselves, and we KLA soldiers were welcomed everywhere”, he said.

Former fighter from Drenica area Naser Carpuzi, confessing how he was attached The KLA, it says Serbia has been the worst entrepreneur ever to know history.

The Kosovo Liberation Army's “Time was the time when the Serbian occupation in Kosovo carried out a vicious campaign, was the time after the 1990s, it had surprised the constitution, had poisoned students, unfortunately we had had to deal with a more dirty Serbian occupier that ever knows history or we have managed to read in history. As a result of all of this, the peak of the Albanian people, freedom or death”, Carpuzi said.

On the other hand, he tells of the massacres the Serbian regime had done in two villages in Drenica.

“was the 98th massacres, exactly February 28th of 98th, where the Serbian machine in the two villages of Drenica massacred after facing our army, which had already been on the scene and there was no direct confrontation against the army and then avenged the civilian population where it killed and massacred over 28 civilians in the two villages of Drenica. Then after that event came other events -- the 5,6 and March 7th of 1998, where the Serbian machine and power plan a detailed programme against Albanians -- hundreds of tanks are participating in that plan, against a family like the Jasharaj” family, he said.

He then shared a conversation he had with his mother before going off to war, who said how many times he remembers that moment, he goes mad.

I'm from Drenica, and as far as the war goes, we started in Drenica. A while and then we spent the special unit of the KLA headquarters, until the end of the war, but before we went to war there were important moments when I and my family, when I decided to go to war and my family exactly because my father had died in the past, I told you: Mother, I decide to go to war, and I've expected another reaction from her, and she says to me: Well, my son, may God help you and all those other boys and girls, that they too are sons and daughters of someone. I now 23 years after the war when I remember those words because today if my son or daughter would tell me I'm going to war, I'd say you'd stay here because I'm going. In this case, I want to show him the human spirit of Albanian mothers, who were the pillars of the” house, among the fainting Carpuzi showed.

Finally, he told of the emotions they had conveyed during the fighting, stressing that fear would flee when facing the enemy.

And to be honest every time before we went to some kind of action or battle, we're people and there's been emotions that have been very real and emotions have lasted until the moment we started fighting, the moment we fired guns, then there's no fear in us, but the feeling of how to get along with fighting” he concluded.
