Agim Ramadan's wife: Kosovo is empty, we don't fight for it

On the 24th anniversary of the warrior's fall, and hero Agim Ramadani, known as Katana, his wife, Shukri remembers the last meeting in Switzerland, the date Agim took his way to Kostunica to wear the Kosovo Liberation Army uniform. The wife of one of the founders of the plan for breaking the Albanian-Albanian border says Agim and other martyrs dreamed of another Kosovo, not the one today that is emptying for every day young people.

First I rule out loneliness and without your true presence kiss your feet and eyes, and proclaim yourself emperor and captive to your heart...”

These are verses of Agim, Agim Ramadan, classmates and hearts. They always loved each other, but they only got together after the end of high school. Love brought them together and the children were forced to leave in Switzerland in the '90s.

Pos Shukryje, Agim, who will later be known as Katana, had another love, Kosovo, which he wanted free for what his wife and three children left in exile and took the road to no return.

The latest meeting well remembers, the wife of one of the founders of the plan for breaking the Albanian-Albanian border in Kostunica.

You tell me every time I love you, ask me again or love me. I told her I love you so much, Agim, I told her how many years it takes to prove that I love you. I said no, I want you back.

Physically, Agim saw it three months before the testimony came down, but the phone spoke on April 8, 1999, a day before the KLA offensive began.

After breaking the border, in the part of Kosovo, to the country called the Bird Stream, the commander Katana falls.

Shucrija is told that she was wounded, news she did not believe. From Tirana to Bajram Curr, she sets out with the intention of opening her grave and greeting the dead man she loved with her heart.

And I've seen so many new graves, so many boys under 20 years of age, 20 years old, 22-23, young men who didn't have their wife or mother, nobody. And I've stepped back and said I'm right, I don't have that right, that even Agim didn't give me this right”, she said.

On the 24th anniversary of the fall, Shukrije Ramadani says that today's Kosovo is not what Agim dreamed of.

This is not Kosovo that has wanted neither Adam Jashar nor Agim Ramadan, nor Sali Cekaj, nor thousands of Agim and Adela that have fallen in the Kosovo war. They have thought of freedom a little differently than this, a freedom that a man has primarily in his youth. I am most terrified of leaving my youth, from Kosovo. If Kosovo pours out that it knows who the boys were fighting for, it says Shukrije Ramadani.

Agim Ramadani was a poet, a painter, even the military-run communications academy had ended in Zagreb, Croatia. In 1998 he becomes an honorary member of the European Academy of Arts.

Despite living in Switzerland, Agim Ramadani in 1998 responded to the country's call and was invited to join the Kosovo Liberation Army.
