Ferizaj mayor, Muharrem Svarqa, said on Tuesday he was concerned upon receiving the news that Blerim Heta, from the village of Varosh near Ferizaj, committed a suicide attack in Iraq killing 52 officers. Svarqa appealed that Kosovo Albanians should not go and fight there.
“It was never in our tradition to get killed in meaningless and foreign wars. Our people always fought national wars. The loss of our sons there is very painful because they have been deceived,” he added.
Svarqa also said that participating in such wars only stains Kosovo’s image and called for a greater role by the Islamic Community of Kosovo to unmask the indoctrination of youth.
