Events have been held to mark the 28th anniversary of the death of Abedin Rexha, a prominent Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) fighter known by the nickname ‘Sandokan’. Rexha was a figure in resistance movements against Serbian-Slavic rule who returned to Kosovo in 1996 to work with commander Adem Jashari. He was involved in various operations before dying following a confrontation with Serbian forces in Vajnik on November 25, 1997. A memorial academy was held in Winterthur, Switzerland, to honor his legacy. The ceremony included speakers such as Kudusi Lama, Jakup Nura, Nasim Haradinaj, Xheladin Shala, and Rexha’s widow, Sanije Rexha. The gathering focused on preserving historical memory and the values of patriotism for younger generations. Recent commemorations in Winterthur brought together public figures, former comrades, and compatriots, including Bedri Shala. Speakers shared testimonies regarding Rexha’s role in the fight for Kosovo’s freedom, emphasizing the necessity of passing down the values of resistance and dedication to the national heritage.
