Head of State placed a wreath of flowers on the statue of the “Soldier of Kavaja” erected in honor of his sublime deed for the nation.

In his speech during this event, President Begaj praised the determination and sacrifice of the 28-year-old from Kavaja, who left England and joined the young people in fight for the liberation of Kosovo, while emphasizing that Indrit Cara belongs to Kosovo, Albania and all Albanians.

“He was born in Kavaja, but today he belongs to Kosovo, he belongs to Albania, he belongs to Albanian patriotism. Indrit Cara sets an example and symbol of courage, a pure spirit of patriotism and a heart that beat strongly for the freedom of the Albanian nation. He is a name engraved in the history of our nation, a model of inspiration that shows the way to our youth: the spirit of sacrifice, the strength of unity and the significance of acting for the good of our nation”, said Begaj.

The president emphasized that commemoration of Indrit Cara serves for everyone as a reminder of the permanent commitment not to let the dream for which he gave his life fade away.

“His sacrifice serves as a compass for our future, for a united nation, for a strong Albanian patriotism, for a Kosovo that moves forward, free and proud”, he said.

The Head of State also remembered with respect the figures who led the strides for the liberation of Kosovo: Ibrahim Rugova, Adem Demaçi and Adem Jashari, and underlined the responsibility for cooperation not only of politics, but of every citizen to preserve and follow the legacy of their forerunners.

During his visit to Kavaja, President Begaj held a meeting with Mayor Fisnik Qosja, while he also visited the recently restored Ethnographic Museum of Kavaja. /a.f/p.s./

In an interview for RTSH24, Cara said that there has not been recorded any loss of life and there has been no house burning showing that the operational structures have been functional and managed the situations well.

“So far, we have suffered losses only in forests and pastures”, said Cara.

He also positively assessed the cooperation with neighboring countries, evaluating it as very good and effective.
