Rexhep Qosja and Pellumb Xhufi

Rexhep Qosja was a powerful voice of critical thought and a tireless defender of the national cause, emphasizes historian Pëllumb Xhufi, who recalls how the academic was committed to the liberation of Kosovo from the time he headed the Institute of Albanology in the years 1972–1981, which he transformed into a hotbed of the movement.

"It was a place where national consciousness was nurtured at the highest level and where the biggest movements started. The student movements also started there. And he tells how the day he learned that the student movements started in Pristina, he wanted to go, but he said he was afraid. He didn't even hide his weaknesses," said academic Pëllumb Xhufi.

Qosja gave voice to the student protests of 1981, which became nationwide demonstrations, and later played an important role in shaping the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Xhufi recalls the incident in his office in 1999.

"He was among the first to embrace the KLA with enthusiasm and great hope. He had connections with KLA fighters. His life was in danger. In his office at the Albanological Institute is the portrait of Naim Frashëri pierced by a bayonet, when the Serbs entered his office in 1999 ," said academic Pëllumb Xhufi.

Meanwhile, the historian considers Qose's contribution to the Rambouillet Conference, which was held in Paris with the aim of ending the war in Kosovo and achieving a long-term peace, crucial.

"It was a point of reference for the entire delegation, for every prudent decision. It was the delegation's compass that said things bluntly ," said academic Pëllumb Xhufi.

After the liberation of Kosovo, Qosja became politically engaged by founding a political party, but then withdrew to pursue literary creativity.

"Together with other colleagues, he created a group called the 'Parliamentary Party', with which he sought to include intellectuals in the major events that were to come. There was no progress, he took it with sportsmanship and continued journalism with the good intention of serving the processes ," said academic Pëllumb Xhufi.

His roots were firmly rooted in his birthplace, in Vuthaj, Gucia, where he spent almost every summer, according to Xhufi.

"He went there for a purification of the soul. But he also went to be present in that wonderful place, which is being emptied of people," said academic Pëllumb Xhufi./TCH
