Who is Albin Kurti, Kosovo's new prime minister?
Albin Kurti was born on March 24, 1975 in Pristina. He began to stand out during the war period beginning in 1997 after resisting Milosevic Albini became part of the Independent Students' Union of the University of Pristina.
Through protests and civil disobedience, the group demanded the liberation of university premises from the Serbian occupation. He was one of the leaders of the historic student protest on October 1, 1997, which was brutally suppressed by Milosevic police.
Once the Kosovo war had officially begun, in August 1998 Albin began working in the office of the KLA's political representative general, Adem Demaci, where he served as secretary of the office.
During this time he has been engaged in finding a political solution to the Kosovo crisis. During the NATO bombing he remained in Pristina until April 27, 1999, when Serbian police arrested him. On June 10, with the withdrawal of Serbian forces to Serbia, he was transferred to Serbian prisons along with other Albanian prisoners. On March 13, 2000 in Nis, Albin was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
During the trial he refused to recognize the legitimacy of the court, saying: â??This trial has nothing to do with truth and justice. This trial serves the daily politics of the Milosevic regime that has kept Kosovo under occupation. "
When convicted, he said: "It doesn't matter if you punish me and how much you punish me. Everything I have done and done voluntarily and with dignity, I am proud of it and if given the opportunity I would do the same again. "
As a result of international pressure Albini was released on December 7, 2001. On April 23, 2003 Albini graduated from the Faculty of Computer Science and Telecommunications at the University of Prishtina and continued to be a human and civil rights activist.
