It's reported that his remains were found: Who was Urksin Hoti?

The Hoti event was born on 17 June 1943 [would be 78 years old if it were alive] in Krusha the Great, the municipality of Rahovec.

His father was a newspaper salesman in front of the village school. The school offered only four years of education, so Hoti had to continue in the village of Rugova in Hasi.

He would continue in the Prizren Normal and later in Pristina. This level of schooling was sufficient for Hoti to return to his village school in 1963.

This for a short period of time, since Hoti's ambition would send him a year later to Zagreb, originally to the Faculty of Medicine. But even with the insistence of some of his professors there, he'd be reorient in another field, that of political science.

In Zagreb there are the first traces of his activism, when he and his friends would organise protests for the war in Vietnam. Hoti would leave Zagreb to continue postgraduate studies in Belgrade for political relations and the international economy. At that time, he would also perform military service.

This was when he was going to start writing the first articles, mostly in the foreign policy column, which would be published in the newspaper “Renaissance”.

In 1970, Ukshin Hoti engages in state administration, more precisely at the International Commission for Co-operation with the LSPPJ (The Socialist League of Peoples of Yugoslavia), where he works until May 1972. At this time and within that position, he delegates to a peacekeeping mission in Angola for a four-month period.

Yes, in 1972 Uksin Hoti is named Secretary of the Secretariat for Foreign Relations, so he moves to Pristina to assume his functions.

It was during his mandate, when after an agreement between Yugoslavia and Albania, it was possible for some of Albania's professors to come to Kosovo to legalise at the University of Pristina, one of them Arben Puto, legalising stories and international relations, until 1980.

However, Hoti with 1977 would resign from his post, as a sign of revolts over the major gap created between the situation in Kosovo and other republics in Yugoslavia.

Hot in the United States

Hoti, in 1978, was one of the few Albanians who had won the “Stock Exchange. Fulright” and would travel to continue specialized in Universities like Washington, Chicago and Harvard.

At Harvard he was chosen as the man to represent all European specialists and postgraduates in the United States.

After returning from the United States in 1979, Ukshin Hoti is established in Pristina and becomes a professor in University, Law and Philosophy faculty, where he legalizes Political Sociology and International Relations.

Restitution

Hoti would take on the challenge of clearly demonstrating his goals and attitudes about the unification of Albanians, who, according to him, had reached maturity for self-government and that the democracy of Kosovo Albanians was born by themselves, without outside influence. This is what, then, Ukshin Hoti would describe as “Autentic Democracy”.

Prisons

After the protests in 1981, he was to be arrested, and on May 21, 1982, he is sentenced to nine years in prison for supporting the revolt. The sentence was then reduced to three and a half years.

After the 1981 arrest, Ukshin Hoti served his first sentence in Pristina prison, later in Zagreb prison and finally in Ljubljana prison.

In April 1985, Ukshin Hoti is released but is gradually forced to isolate himself in the village. He lives in terms of extreme isolation and has no right to deal with any political and professorial activity. He receives passports and is guarded by Serbian police and secret services.

In 1990, it was to be placed in Ljubljana, where the press was not yet censored. He started writing for two Albanian newspapers, “Alternative” and “Republic”. Afterwards, newspapers would be closed and Hoti is forced back to Great Krusha, where he takes on the commitment of national awareness in rural areas.

But in 1992, a group of students apply to the Faculty of Philosophy to be allowed to return to legalize this faculty by 1993.

In 1992, in the village of Brestovc, Ukshin Hoti hosts a reputation for victims killed by Serbian police two years ago in a demonstration for the Republic of Kosovo and was sentenced in 1993 to 55 days in prison.

In 1992, under unknown circumstances he left the LDK, in which he joined in 1991. The same year, it goes to Tetovo at a national gathering organised by Albanians. It delivers a speech that openly supports the national union within an Albanian state.

In May 1993, he visits the press palace of the newspaper “Renaissance”, which was threatened with closure, where Adem Demach and other activists are hunger strikes to support media freedom. On the way back, it is prohibited in a police block office in the municipality. That's where the police fight. After his release, that same day, he is stopped again and again beaten to death.

Having emerged from isolation, political party “U n NICOMB” proposes Urksin Hoti to be its head. On May 17th 1994, en route to Pristina to take office, he is banned by Serbian police and imprisoned in Prizren. It is accused of being a member of the illegal movement in Kosovo (LPRK) and that it has founded the newspaper “DeA”, under the governance and financing of the latter. Also accused of being member and party chairman “U n NICOMB”, considered illegal.

He is sentenced to 5 years in prison for undertaking unconstitutional acts, jeopardising Yugoslavia's territorial integrity. Then he is transferred to the Dubrava prison, then to Nis, in Mitrovica Srem, to return later to Nis.

In prison time, Hoti holds a correspondence with writer Ismail Kadare. These scriptures will be published in 2000, entitled “Chat via railing”.

On May 16, 1999, when the war was lasting almost a year, Wikshin Hoti reaches the end of his sentence. According to Bajrush Xhemajil, one of the prisoners, he will be accompanied by two guards towards the exit Sunday -- a non-usual day for the release of prisoners. Since then he would no longer be known for his fate.

How'd Uckshin Hoty disappear?

On the day of his release from prison, Ukshin Hoti had been kidnapped, then he was killed and massacred in the most secular way by Serb police assisted by the Yugoslav Army.

Thus was discovered by some documents provided by the editorials of the “show at RTK, which have the stamp of Serbia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, the War Crimes Investigation Department.

On the day he was released, members of Serbian state security had received him at the prison door.

Unofficially, it was Sreten Cemovic, a member of Serbian state security code 9787960, who received him at the prison door.

Cemovitch used to be a journalist.

In an official document of Serbia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a number of protocols of 03-3-1 SB No.270/13, on October 4th 2013, it is said that one person to whom this document refers as the person X-1, who witnessed the case, had made all the event that had happened to Ukhsin in May 1999.

The X-1 person had clarified the way the police and the Serbian Army were hiding crime in the case of Uksin Hoti, but several more murders in the Pec region.

This person had identified the house, the doors of the house, and the form of the murder of Ukshin Hoti.
