Former President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, stayed with Zejnepe Gashi's family in Slovi, Lipjan.
She said she stood up to honor a story, as the late Resistance fighter Zejnepe Gashi lived with the most severe loss a mother and a woman can experience.
"Today we stayed at Zejnepe Gashi's family home in Slovi, Lipjan, to honor a deep story of pain and resistance. The late resistance fighter Zejnepe Gashi lived with the most severe loss a mother and a woman can experience. During the war, she lost her husband, two sons and two grandchildren. In the spring of 1999, dozens of innocent civilians were also killed in this village. These wounds do not belong to just one family, but are part of our collective memory."
"Last month, with deep humility and respect, I decorated the late resistance fighter Zejnepe Gashi with the Presidential Medal of Merit (post mortem), for her extraordinary sacrifice in the battle for justice and for her unparalleled contribution to documenting the crimes committed during the 1999 Slovian massacre. We stood by her family to honor the past, but also to strengthen our responsibility for the future. The sacrifice of the Gashi family remains a legacy for a state where life, dignity and rights are always protected. Glory to all those who sacrificed for our freedom," he said. /Gazeta Express
