Teacher who killed Miladin Popovic 77 years ago

Three days after the announcement of the military situation in Kosovo, the teacher from Gjakova, Hakki Taha from Gjakova in Pristina on March 13th 1945, has killed Miladin Popovic, then secretary of Yugoslavia's Communist Party for Kosovo and Dukagjini Plains, and the number one political power man in Kosovo. He hacked elementary school and [...]
Hakiu started primary school in his home country and closed it at Kosovo's “primary school “in Krume of Hasi in Albania. The low birth rate was performed at Shkodra and the Normal School in Elbasan in 1939, when he was also appointed teachers in Shinavlas, Albania.
In 1941, with the first group of teachers who came to Kosovo, Hakki Taha came home, where, along with his associates, Hysni Zaymin, Fadil Hodza, Geedad Hana, Zeki Shehu, Muharrem Gazina, etc., during the summer, organized language courses for young Albanians previously educated in schools in Serbian.
It also aroused patriotic feelings and the spirit of homeland. Although anti-fascist for obedience, throughout the war, he did not join the Nationalist Movement because he was a great <x0-nationalist “, as he said in the case mentioned by Fadil Hoxha, and because of his distrust of co-operation with Montenegrin Serbs. But he was not even thrown into direct war against this movement. Thus, throughout the war, only teachers remained, not serving anyone.
As a teacher, however, he was very loving and highly honored by the people. In 1942, when then Albanian state Prime Minister Mustafa Kruja visited Kosovo, Hakki Taha was one of those who organized the young Gjakova by national flag, without the fascist signs of “sector”, asked him to open the Normal School, not that commercial, as his government had decided.
The word at this request of bleeding young people, addressed to Prime Minister Mustafa Kruja, who was held by Vehapur Shita, then Pristina Gymnasium student, had initiated and enabled Hakki Taha, then teacher in Gjakova.
And after that visit by Prime Minister Mustafa Kruja, near the Gjakova Institute of Trade, the Normal School branch opened with director Zekia Raja, while the trade branch near the Institute said it was all gone.
However, Hakki Taha, even then ill health, soon became seriously ill and lay on the bed almost until his journey to Pristina, where death found him in March 1945.
