The fighter of the Kosova Liberation Army, Nuri Gani Bushi, was martyred. He completed elementary school in Han <\/span>i<\/span> Elezit<\/span> and high school in <\/span>Kaçanik<\/span>. In recent years, Nuri worked in Italy, where in addition to the work he did to support his family, he was also an activist and member of the diaspora association “Iliria”, based in the city of Celani, Italy. He <\/span>participated<\/span> in all the protests and demonstrations against the Serbian occupier in Han <\/span>i<\/span> Elezit<\/span>. Nuri was included in the ranks of the Kosova Liberation Army, being stationed at the point of war in <\/span>Puset<\/span> e <\/span>Nikës<\/span>. After the formation of the first KLA units in <\/span>Puset<\/span> e <\/span>Nikës<\/span> in October 1998, he regularly <\/span>kept in contact<\/span> with the liberators and was at the service of the command. The Serbian army began serious preparations for a broad offensive against KLA units in these parts. On March 2, 1999, Serbian forces began encircling the positions from all directions, with <\/span>additional<\/span> military forces arriving from <\/span>Ferizaj<\/span>, <\/span>Shtërpca<\/span> and <\/span>Kaçanik<\/span>. The Serbs settled around the villages of Bob, <\/span>Gajre<\/span>, <\/span>Laq<\/span>, <\/span>Puset<\/span> e <\/span>Nikës<\/span>, <\/span>Goranc<\/span>, <\/span>Rezhanc<\/span>, etc. These forces were equipped with tanks, armored vehicles, heavy <\/span>artillery<\/span> and <\/span>numerous<\/span> trucks full of soldiers and war technicians. Fierce fighting took place throughout the day. In addition to Nuri Bushi, <\/span>Xhemsedin<\/span> Ibrahim Suma also fell that day, and soldiers Murat Loku, Xhelal Bushi and Mehmet Bilalli from <\/span>Lubishta<\/span> e <\/span>Vitija<\/span> were wounded. <\/span><\/span>(In the photo: Nuri Gani Bushi<\/em>)<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
