23 years from the fall of Ismet Jashari commander Kumanovo

He was born in Orizare in Kumanovo on 16 April 1967. He was the son of Yasar Jashar and the mother of Nuries. She received elementary lessons in her homeland, and in 1982 she enrolled in Kumanovo Gymnasium.

Ismet was one of the first to participate in the foundation of the “anniversary fund calling”. This fund became the main base of the logistics and funding of the Kosovo Liberation Army war.

Immediately after Prekazi's epic, on March 5, 6th and 7th 1998, Ismet Jashari makes the last preparations to enter Kosovo. On March 11th that same year, he, along with Fehmi Ladrovci, Xhev Ledrovcin, Mirush Daka, Bekim Berisha, Agim Bajrami and others, enters areas where the Kosovo Liberation Army was operating and arrives at Likoc in Drenica, where the KLA's most important base was then located.

At the Kosovo Liberation Army General Staff's decision, Ismet Jashari is assigned to military duties in the Lapush area, with the aim of expanding and consolidating the ranks of the liberation army.

On August 23rd 1998, after the enemy army had taken all measures to infiltrate Klecka, where the General Staff of the Kosovo Liberation Army was located, Ismet Jashari organised resistance at its invincible point in Bajrak, Luznica.

On August 24th evening, freedom fighters had penetrated deep into enemy positions, causing damage to people and to war technicians Gani Kastrati and Africa Buckaj, had failed to withdraw.

On the early morning of August 25, Ismet Jashar had attacked suddenly in an effort to pick up troops of fallen soldiers. After several hours of fighting at a nearby distance -- on the country's altar, in Luznica -- falls the bravest of the Kosovo Liberation Army, Ismet Jashari commander Kumanovo. Noah Mazrek and Habib Zogaj had also fallen on the altar of their homeland.

Today the body of witness Ismet Jashari lies at the Jashari-Quanova tomb complex, where the bodies of the other 66 martyrs, 121 “Isari-Quanova”, rest.
