Adem Jashari

William Burns, the CIA Director, is currently on a two-day visit to Kosovo, making his way through southeastern Europe. On Thursday, Burns was reported to have been in Bulgaria as part of a tour that included stops in Sarajevo, Belgrade, Sofia, Skopje, and Pristina, according to Radio Free Europe.

It should be known that he belongs to an organized criminal clan. His uncle is Adem Jashari, who was killed in clashes with our security forces, but it is especially interesting that Bashkim Jashari was one of the zone commanders in the so-called Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC) since 2003, and that he was suspected of some criminal activities back then", Drecun told RTS.

For two decades, voters in the town of Skenderaj/Srbica in Kosovo's Drenica Valley have been pledging their support to the Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK and its former leader Hashim Thaci, the wartime political chief of the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA who went on to dominate politics in the country in the years after the conflict.

Drita Hajdari told BIRN on Thursday that Kosovo's Special Prosecution Office has opened a preliminary investigation into Serbian police special forces' attack on the Jashari family compound in Prekaz from March 5-7, 1998, in which guerrilla commander Adem Jashari and 58 of his relatives were killed.

Kosovo Security Force troops paraded at a commemoration in Pristina on Thursday to mark the anniversary of the death in 1998 of Kosovo Liberation Army commander Adem Jashari and honour the wartime actions of the guerrilla force.

Kosovo started its three days of commemorations for KLA commander Adem Jashari and the army which fought against Serbian forces in the 1998-99 conflict with a parade of the Kosovo Security Force.

Twenty years after Kosovo Liberation Army commander Adem Jashari was killed in a gun battle, a feature film is to be made about his life - and it has already caused controversy in Serbia.

Events to mark the 20th anniversary of the killing of Kosovo Liberation Army commander Adem Jashari and his family culminated in a ‘Night of Fires’ at the Jashari memorial complex in Prekaz.

Thousands of people gathered in the village of Prekaz in Drenica region visiting the memorial of Adem Jashari and his family to mark the 20th anniversary of the death of a man whose "defiant stand against Serb police and military helped inspire Kosovo's war for independence".

Officials held a series of events to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the killing of Kosovo Liberation Army commander Adem Jashari, saying that it marked “the beginning of the end” of Serbia’s rule.
