Bahri Fazliu (1971–1998) was a Kosovo[a] Albanian poet,[1] publicist,[2] and nationalist.

Biography

Bahri Fazliu was born in the village of Llaushë near Podujevo (Albanian: Besiana), Yugoslavia, today's Kosovo. He was the younger brother of Fahri Fazliu, PMK member who lost his life in a shoot-out with Serbian police on November 2, 1989, in "Kodra e Diellit" neighborhood in Prishtina.[3]
Bahri was one of the founders of NMLK (Albanian: Lëvizja Kombëtare për Çlirimin e Kosovës, LKÇK), and its leader after the imprisonment of Avni Klinaku.[4] NMLK was a revolutionary movement, and a constant criticizer of Democratic League of Kosovo and Ibrahim Rugova's Ghandism.[3]
He was the chief editor of the newspaper Çlirimi (English: Liberation), which would be secretly delivered inside Kosovo every three months. On May 7, 1998, he got involved in a skirmish with Serbian Armed Forces in an area called Bjeshka e Bogiqes, in the vicinity of Plava, a Montenegrin town at the border between Albania, Montenegro, and Kosovo (then Serbia, Yugoslavia), eventually getting killed. This was 4 days before the official agreement between NMLK and newly-active Kosovo Liberation Army, that would result in NMLK officially joining KLA.[3]

Legacy

There are streets in nowadays Kosovo which bear his name.[5] He would later receive the title "Hero of Kosovo" (Albanian: "Hero i Kosovës").[6][7]

Notes

a.   ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has received recognition as an independent state from 110 out of 193 United Nations member states.
